1 I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry.

انْتَظَرْتُ اللهَ بِصَبْرٍ. فَالتَفَتَ إلَيَّ وَسَمِعَ صُراخِي.

2 H e drew me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings.

مِنَ المَوْتِ نَشَلَنِي. أخرَجَنِي مِنَ الوَحلِ. عَلَى أرْضٍ ثابِتَةٍ وَضَعَ قَدَمَيَّ، وَثَبَّتَ خَطَواتِي.

3 A nd He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their trust and confident reliance in the Lord.

وَضَعَ تَرنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً عَلَى شَفَتَيَّ، تَرنِيمَةَ شُكْرٍ لإلَهِنا. كَثِيرُونَ سَيَرَوْنَ أعْمالَهُ، فَيَهابُونَ اللهِ وَيَتَّكِلُونَ عَلَيهِ.

4 B lessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who makes the Lord his refuge and trust, and turns not to the proud or to followers of false gods.

هَنِيئاً لِمَنْ وَضَعَ ثِقَتَهُ فِي اللهِ ، وَلا يَلجَأُ إلَى الشَّياطِينِ وَالآلِهَةِ المُزَيَّفَةِ.

5 M any, O Lord my God, are the wonderful works which You have done, and Your thoughts toward us; no one can compare with You! If I should declare and speak of them, they are too many to be numbered.

يا إلَهِي ، أنتَ صَنَعْتَ عَجائِبَ كَثِيرَةً. رائِعَةٌ هِيَ خُطَطُكَ لَنا، وَلَيسَ مَنْ يَقدِرُ أنْ يَذكُرَها كُلَّها. سَأُخبِرُ بِها مَرَّةً بَعدَ مَرَّةٍ، مَعَ أنَّها لا تُحصَى.

6 S acrifice and offering You do not desire, nor have You delight in them; You have given me the capacity to hear and obey burnt offerings and sin offerings You do not require.

أنتَ لا تُسَرُّ بِالذَّبائِحِ وَالقَرابِينِ، بَلْ فَتَحْتُ أُذُنَيَّ لِصَوتِكَ. لَمْ تَطلُبْ ذَبائِحَ صاعِدَةً وَذَبائِحَ خَطِيَّةٍ.

7 T hen said I, Behold, I come; in the volume of the book it is written of me;

لِهَذا قُلْتُ: «ها قَدْ جِئْتُ. مَكتُوبٌ هَذا عَنِّي فِي الكِتابِ.

8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; yes, Your law is within my heart.

رَغبَتِي أنْ أفعَلَ مَشِيئَتَكَ يا إلَهِي، وَشَرِيعَتُكَ هِيَ فِي قَلْبِي.»

9 I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I have not restrained my lips, as You know, O Lord.

بَشَّرْتُ بِأعمالِكَ الحَسَنَةِ بَينَ الجَماعَةِ الكَبِيرَةِ. وَأنتَ، يا اللهُ ، تَعلَمُ أنَّنِي لا أُقفِلُ شَفَتَيَّ.

10 I have not concealed Your righteousness within my heart; I have proclaimed Your faithfulness and Your salvation. I have not hid away Your steadfast love and Your truth from the great assembly.

لَمْ أكتِمْ فِي قَلبِي أعمالَكَ الصّالِحَةَ. بَلْ جاهَرْتُ بِإخلاصِكَ وَخَلاصِكَ. عَنِ الجَماعَةِ الكَبِيرَةِ لَمْ أُخفِ شَيئاً مِنْ صِدْقِ مَحَبَّتِكَ وَأمانَتِكَ.

11 W ithhold not Your tender mercy from me, O Lord; let Your loving-kindness and Your truth continually preserve me!

فَلا تَمنَعْ، يا اللهُ ، عَنِّي رَحمَتِكَ. وَبِصِدْقِ مَحَبَّتِكَ وَأمانَتِكَ احمِنِي دَوْماً.

12 F or innumerable evils have compassed me about; my iniquities have taken such hold on me that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed me and forsaken me.

لِأنَّ أشْراراً بِلا عَدَدٍ قَدْ حاصَرُونِي. وَخَطايايَ أمسَكَتْ بِي وَلا أرَى مَهرَباً. خَطايايَ أكثَرُ مِنْ شَعْرِ رَأْسِي. وَشَجاعَتِي فارَقَتْنِي.

13 B e pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me!

أرْجُوكَ أنقِذْنِي يا اللهُ! يا اللهُ ، أسرِعْ إلَى مَعُونَتِي!

14 L et them be put to shame and confounded together who seek and require my life to destroy it; let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor who wish me evil and delight in my hurt!

لَيتَ السّاعِينَ إلَى مَوْتِي يَخزَوْنَ وَيُهزَمُونَ! لَيتَ مَنْ يُرِيدُونَ أذِيَّتِي يَسقُطُونَ وَيَندَحِرُونَ!

15 L et them be desolate by reason of their shame who say to me, Aha, aha!

لَيتَ المُتَهَكِّمِينَ عَلَيَّ يَخرَسُونَ فِي ذُلِّهِمْ وَخِزْيِهِمْ.

16 L et all those that seek and require You rejoice and be glad in You; let such as love Your salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified!

وَلْيَبتَهِجْ وَيَفْرَحْ كُلُّ مَنْ يَطلُبُكَ. لِيَقُلْ مُحِبُّو خَلاصِكَ دائِماً: «عَظِيمٌ هُوَ اللهُ!»

17 I am poor and needy, yet the Lord takes thought and plans for me. You are my Help and my Deliverer. O my God, do not tarry!

لَكِنِ انظُرْ إلَيَّ يا رَبِّي، لأنِّي أنا مِسكِينٌ وَبائِسٌ. إلَهِي، عَوْنِي وَخَلاصِي أنتَ. فَلا تَتَأخَّرْ.
