1 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

أُبارِكُ اللهَ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. وَدائِماً تَسبِيحُهُ عَلَى شَفَتَيَّ.

2 M y life makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble and afflicted hear and be glad.

بِاللهِ فَخْرُ نَفْسِي. لَيتَ المَساكِينَ يَسْمَعُونَنِي لِيَفْرَحُوا!

3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.

كَرِّمُوا مَعِي اللهَ. وَلْنَرْفَعْ مَعاً اسْمَهُ.

4 I sought (inquired of) the Lord and required Him, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

إنِّي للهِ لَجَأْتُ، فَأجابَنِي! وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ مَخاوِفِي خَلَّصَنِي.

5 T hey looked to Him and were radiant; their faces shall never blush for shame or be confused.

انْظُرُوا إلَيهِ وَاسْتَنِيرُوا، فَلَنْ تَخْجَلَ وُجُوهُكُمْ.

6 T his poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

دَعَوْتُ أنا المِسْكِينَ، فَسَمِعَنِي اللهُ ، وَمِنْ مَتاعِبِي أنقَذَنِي.

7 T he Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and each of them He delivers.

مَلاكُ اللهِ يُخَيِّمُ حَولَ خائِفِيهِ، وَهُوَ يُنقِذُهُمْ.

8 O taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him.

ذُوقُوا لِتَعرِفُوا ما أطْيَبَ اللهَ. هَنِيئاً لِلإنسانِ المُتَّكِلِ عَلَيهِ.

9 O fear the Lord, you His saints! For there is no want to those who truly revere and worship Him with godly fear.

اتَّقُوا اللهَ أيُّها المُقَدَّسونَ لَهُ. لِأنَّ الَّذينَ يَتَّقُونَهُ مُكتَفُونَ وَلا يَنْقُصُهُمْ شَيْءٌ.

10 T he young lions lack food and suffer hunger, but they who seek (inquire of and require) the Lord, none of them shall lack any beneficial thing.

حَتَّى الأُسُودُ القَوِيَّةُ تَجُوعُ وَتَحتاجُ، أمّا المُلتَجِئُونَ إلَى اللهِ ، فَلا يَنقُصُهُمْ شَيءٌ مِنَ الخَيرِ.

11 C ome, you children, listen to me; I will teach you to revere and worshipfully fear the Lord.

تَعالَوْا يا أبنائِي وَاستَمِعُوا إلَيَّ، وَسَأُعَلِّمُكُمْ كَيفَ تَتَّقُونَ اللهَ.

12 W hat man is he who desires life and longs for many days, that he may see good?

أتُحِبُّ أنْ تَتَمَتَّعَ بِالحَياةِ؟ أتُرِيدُ أنْ تَحيا حَياةً طَوِيلَةً مَملوءَةً بِالخَيْرِ؟

13 K eep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.

فَاحفَظْ لِسانَكَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ، وَشَفَتَيْكَ مِنَ الكَلامِ المُخادِعِ.

14 D epart from evil and do good; seek, inquire for, and crave peace and pursue (go after) it!

تَجَنَّبِ الشَّرَّ، وَافعَلِ الخَيرَ. إلَى السَّلامِ اسْعَ، بَلْ جِدَّ فِي طَلَبِهِ!

15 T he eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and His ears are open to their cry.

عَينا اللهِ عَلَى الأبرارِ، وَأُذُنَيهِ مُنتَبِهَتانِ إلَى صُراخِهِمْ.

16 T he face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

لَكِنَّ اللهَ يُقاوِمُ فاعِلِي الشَّرِّ، حَتَّى يَقطَعَ مِنَ الأرْضِ ذِكْرَهُمْ.

17 W hen the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their distress and troubles.

صَرَخُوا إلَى اللهِ فَسَمِعَهُمْ، وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ مَتاعِبِهِمْ أنقَذَهُمْ.

18 T he Lord is close to those who are of a broken heart and saves such as are crushed with sorrow for sin and are humbly and thoroughly penitent.

اللهُ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ كَسِيرِي القُلُوبِ، وَهُوَ يُخَلِّصُ الَّذِينَ انقَطَعَ رَجاؤُهُمْ.

19 M any evils confront the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

رُبَّما تَكثُرُ ضِيقاتُ الإنْسانِ المُسْتَقِيمِ. لَكِنْ مِنْها كُلِّها يُخَلِّصُهُ اللهُ.

20 H e keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.

يَحفَظُ عِظامَهُ كُلَّها، فَلا يُكسَرُ واحِدٌ مِنْها.

21 E vil shall cause the death of the wicked; and they who hate the just and righteous shall be held guilty and shall be condemned.

الشِّرِّيرُ سَيَقْتُلُهُ شَرُّهُ. وَأعداءُ الإنسانِ الصّالِحِ سَيُعاقَبُونَ.

22 T he Lord redeems the lives of His servants, and none of those who take refuge and trust in Him shall be condemned or held guilty.

اللهُ يَفدِي حَياةَ عَبِيدِهِ، يُعْفَى عَنْ كُلِّ المُحتَمِينَ بِهِ.
