1 ر َنَّمَ داوُدُ كَلِماتِ هَذِهِ الأُنْشُودَةَ للهِ يَوْمَ أنْقَذَهُ اللهُ مِنْ شاوُلَ وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ أعْدائِهِ،

David spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hands of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

2 ف َقالَ: « اللهُ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي الأمِيْنُ.

He said: The Lord is my Rock and my Fortress and my Deliverer;

3 ه ُوَ إلهِي، هُوَ الصَّخرَةُ الّتي ألتَجئُ إليها. اللهُ دِرعِي. قُوَّتُهُ تُنْقِذُني وَتَنْصُرُنِي. اللهُ مَلْجَأِي المُرْتَفِعُ، وَمَلاذِيَ الأمينُ، هُوَ مُنْقِذِي. يُنْقِذُني مِنَ الأعْداءِ العُنَفاءِ.

My God, my Rock, in Him will I take refuge; my Shield and the Horn of my salvation; my Stronghold and my Refuge, my Savior—You save me from violence.

4 د َعَوْتُ الله الذي يَسْتَحِقُّ التَّسْبيحَ، فخَلَصْتُ مِنْ أعْدائي!

I call on the Lord, Who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.

5 « أحاطَتْ أمْواجُ المَوتِ بِي، وَهاجَمَتنِي سُيُولُ الهَلاكِ.

For the waves of death enveloped me; the torrents of destruction made me afraid.

6 ح ِبالُ الهاوِيَةِ كُلُّها كانَتْ حَولِي. وَأفخاخُ المَوتِ مِنْ أمامِي.

The cords of Sheol were entangling me; I encountered the snares of death.

7 ف ي ضِيقي دَعَوتُ اللهَ ، دَعَوتُ إلهي. فسَمِعَ مِنْ هَيكَلِهِ صَوْتِي. وَدَخَل صُراخِي أُذُنَيْهِ.

In my distress I called upon the Lord; I cried to my God, and He heard my voice from His temple; my cry came into His ears.

8 ث مَّ اهْتزَّتِ الأرْضُ وَارْتَجَفَتْ! السَّماءُ تَحَرَّكَتْ وَارْتَجَّتْ، لأنَّهُ غَضِبَ!

Then the earth reeled and quaked, the foundations of the heavens trembled and shook because He was angry.

9 م ِنْ أنفِهِ خَرَجَ الدُّخانُ، ونارٌ مُشْتَعِلةٌ انْطَلَقَتْ مِنْ فَمِهِ، وَاتَّقَدَتْ مِنْها الجَمْرُ.

Smoke went up from His nostrils, and devouring fire from His mouth; coals were kindled by it.

10 ش َقَّ اللهُ السماءَ! وَقَفَ فَوْقَ غَيْمَةٍ سَميكةٍ داكنةٍ!

He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under His feet.

11 ك انَ يَطيرُ مُمتَطِياً مَلائِكَةَ الكَرُوبِيمَ المُحَلِّقةَ، وقدِ امْتطى الرّيحَ.

He rode on a cherub and flew; He was seen upon the wings of the wind.

12 ل فَّ اللهُ الغيومَ الدّاكِنَةَ مِنْ حَولِهِ، كَما لَوْ كانَتْ خَيمَةً. جَمَعَ المِياهَ فِي الغُيومِ.

He made darkness His canopy around Him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

13 ا نطلقَتِ الجَمراتُ كَالفَحْمِ المُشْتَعِلِ من الضَّوْءِ السّاطِعِ مِنْ حَولِهِ!

Out of the brightness before Him coals of fire flamed forth.

14 أ رْعَدَ الله في السَّماءِ، وسمَّعَ العليُّ صوتَهُ.

The Lord thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered His voice.

15 و َأطلَقَ سِهامَهُ وشتَّتَ العدوَّ. أرْسَلَ اللَّه بُرُوقَهُ، فَتفرَّقَ النّاسُ مُرْتَبِكِينَ وَفِي حَيرَةٍ.

He sent out arrows and scattered them; lightning confused and troubled them.

16 « تكَلَّمْتَ يا اللهُ بِقوَّةٍ، ومن فمِكَ هبَّتْ ريحٌ قويَّةٌ، فتراجَعَتِ المِياهُ، حَتَّى رأينا قَعْرَ البحرِ، وَأسُسَ الأرْضِ.

The channels of the sea were visible, the foundations of the world were uncovered at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.

17 « مَدَّ ذِراعَهُ مِنْ عَليائِهِ، وَأمْسَكَ بِي، وَسَحَبَنِي مِنَ المِياهِ العَمِيقَةِ المُنْدَفِعةِ.

He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of great waters.

18 خ لَّصَني مِنْ أعْدائِي الذينَ هُمْ أقْوَى مِنِّي. أنقذَني مِنْ مُبغِضِيَّ، فَقَدْ كانُوا أقَوَى مِنْ أنْ أُواجَهَهُمْ وَحدِي.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.

19 و َقَعْتُ فِي مُصِيبَةٍ، وَهاجَمَنِي أعْدائِي، لَكِنَّ اللهَ سَنَدَنِي وَأعانَنِي.

They came upon me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my stay.

20 ا للهُ يُحِبُّني، لِذا أنْقَذَني، وَأخَذَنِي إلَى مَكانٍ أمِينٍ لا ضِيقَ فِيهِ.

He brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.

21 س َيكافئُنِي اللهُ لأنني فعَلْتُ الصّوابَ، لَمْ أقْتَرِفْ أيَّ خطأٍ، لِذا سَيَصْنَعُ الأشياءَ الحَسَنَةَ لي.

The Lord rewarded me according to my uprightness with Him; He compensated and benefited me according to the cleanness of my hands.

22 ل أنْني مَشَيتُ فِي سُبُلِ اللهِ ، وَلَمْ أُخْطِئْ إلَى إلَهِي كَالأشرارِ.

For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

23 أ ذكُرُ دائِماً شرائعَهُ وَأتأمَّلُ بها، وَلا أحِيدُ عَنها!

For all His ordinances were before me; and from His statutes I did not turn aside.

24 أ بقى أمِيناً لَهُ، وَأحفظ نفسي نَقِيّاً بِلا إثْمٍ أمامَهُ.

I was also blameless before Him and kept myself from guilt and iniquity.

25 ل ذا، سيُكافِئُنِي اللهُ حَسَبَ بِرِّي وَصلاحِي، بحسبِ الصَّلاحِ الَّذِي يَرانِي أعْمَلُهُ.

Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His sight.

26 « تُظهِرُ أمانَتَكَ لِلأمَناءِ، وَصَلاحَكَ لِلصّالِحِينَ.

Toward the loving and loyal You will show Yourself loving and loyal, and with the upright and blameless You will show Yourself upright and blameless.

27 ت ُظْهِرُ نَقاءَكَ مَعَ الأنْقِياءِ. وَتُظْهِرُ حِيَلَكَ مَعَ المُنْحَرِفِينَ.

To the pure You will show Yourself pure, and to the willful You will show Yourself willful.

28 ت ُساعِدُ المُتواضِعينَ يا الله. لَكِنَّكَ تَجلُبُ العارَ عَلَى المُتفاخِرينَ.

And the afflicted people You will deliver, but Your eyes are upon the haughty, whom You will bring down.

29 أ نْتَ مِصْباحِي يا اللهُ ، اللهُ يُضيءُ الظُّلْمَةَ مِنْ حَولي.

For You, O Lord, are my Lamp; the Lord lightens my darkness.

30 ب مَعُونَتِكَ أدُوسُ جُيُوشاً. بمَعُونَةِ اللهِ، أتَسَلَّقُ جُدْرانَ العَدُوِّ.

For by You I run through a troop; by my God I leap over a wall.

31 « طَريقُ اللهِ كامِلٌ. كَلِمَةُ الله اجتازَتْ كَلَّ امْتِحانٍ. هُوَ تُرْسٌ لِمَنْ يَحتَمُونَ بِهِ.

As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried. He is a Shield to all those who trust and take refuge in Him.

32 م ا مِنْ إلهٍ غَيْرُ اللهِ ، وَما مِنْ صَخْرَةٍ سِواه.

For who is God but the Lord? And who is a Rock except our God?

33 ا للهُ حِصْنِيَ المَنِيْعُ. يُساعِدُ الأنقياءَ ليسلُكوا الدرب الصحيح،

God is my strong Fortress; He guides the blameless in His way and sets him free.

34 ي ُساعِدُنِي فأعْدوَ سَريعاً كَالغَزالِ! يُبْقيني فوقَ المشارِفِ.

He makes my feet like the hinds’; He sets me secure and confident upon the heights.

35 ي ُدَرِّبني لِشَنِّ الحَرْبِ، فتُطلِقَ ذِراعَيَّ سهاماً قَويَّةً.

He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36 « أنْتَ حَمَيتَني يا اللهُ جَعَلْتَنِي عَظيماً، وساعَدْتَني لأهزِمَ عَدوّي.

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; and Your condescension and gentleness have made me great.

37 ت مْنحني قُوَّةً في رِجليَّ وكاحِليَّ فأمشِيَ سريعاً من غيرِ أنْ أتَعَثَّرَ.

You have enlarged my steps under me, so that my feet have not slipped.

38 أ ريدُ أنْ أُطارِدَ أعدائي، حَتَّى أُهلِكُهُمْ! وَلَنْ أعُودَ حَتَّى ينتهيَ أمْرُهُم!

I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them; and I did not turn back until they were consumed.

39 أ هلَكْتُ أعْدائيَ. هَزَمتُهُم! وَلَنْ يَنْهَضُوا بَعْدَ اليَوْمِ. سَقَطَ أعدائي عِنْدَ قَدَميَّ.

I consumed them and thrust them through, so that they did not arise; they fell at my feet.

40 « شَدَّدْتَنِي في المَعْرَكَةِ، وَجَعَلْتَ أعدائي يَنْهارُون أمامِي.

For You girded me with strength for the battle; those who rose up against me You subdued under me.

41 م َنَحْتَنِي الفُرْصَةَ لأنالَ مِنْ عَدُوّي، وَأهزِمَ الذِي يَكْرَهُنِي.

You have made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

42 ص َرَخَ أعْدائِي طَلَباً لِلْمُساعَدَةِ، لَكِنَّ ما مِنْ أحَدٍ ليُنْقِذَهُمْ. بَلْ وَنَظَروا إلَى اللهِ ، لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْتَجِبْ لَهُمْ.

They looked, but there was none to save—even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.

43 ق َطَّعْتُ أعدائي، فَصارُوا كَالتُّرابِ عَلَى الأرْضِ. سَحقْتُ أعْدائي وَدُسْتُهُمْ، كَما أدُوسُ الوَحلَ فِي الشَّوارِعِ.

Then I beat them small as the dust of the earth; I crushed them as the mire of the street and scattered them abroad.

44 « أنْتَ أنْقَذْتني مِنْ مُؤامَراتِ شَعبِي ضِدِّي. أبْقَيْتَ عَلَيَّ حاكِماً عَلَى تِلْكَ الأُمَمِ. يَخدُمُني أُناسٌ لَمْ أعْرِفْهُمُ!

You also have delivered me from strife with my people; You kept me as the head of the nations. People whom I had not known served me.

45 ي َتَذَلَّلُ أمامِي أُناسٌ مِنْ بِلادٍ أُخْرَى! يُسْرِعُونَ إلَى طاعَتِي فَورَ سَماعِ أمرِي.

Foreigners yielded feigned obedience to me; as soon as they heard of me, they became obedient to me.

46 أ ولَئِكَ الغُرَباءُ يَرْتَعِدُونَ خَوْفاً. يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ مَخابِئِهِمْ وهُم يَرْتَجِفونَ مِنَ الخَوْفِ.

Foreigners faded away; they came limping and trembling from their strongholds.

47 « اللهُ هُوَ الحَيُّ! أمَجِّدُ صَخْرَتِي. اللهُ عظيمٌ. هُوَ الصَّخرَةُ التي تُنْقِذُني.

The Lord lives; blessed be my Rock, and exalted be God, the Rock of my salvation.

48 ه ُوَ اللهُ الذِي، من أجلي، عاقَبَ أعْدائِي جَعَلَ الشُّعوبَ تَخْضَعُ لِحُكمْي.

It is God Who executes vengeance for me and Who brought down the peoples under me,

49 « مِنْ أعْدائِي خَلَّصْتَني! ساعَدْتَني عَلَى هَزِيمَةِ مَنْ وَقَفُوا ضِدِّي. أنقَذْتَنِي مِنَ عَديمي الرَّحمَةِ!

Who brought me out from my enemies. You also lifted me up above those who rose up against me; You delivered me from the violent man.

50 ل ذا أُمَجِّدُكَ وَسَطَ الأُمَمِ يا اللهُ. لذا أنْشِدُ لاسْمِكَ الأناشِيْدَ.

For this I will give thanks and extol You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.

51 « يُعيْنُ اللهُ مَلِكَهُ ليَفوزَ بِمَعارِكَ كَثيرةٍ! يُظْهِرُ اللهُ حُبَّهُ وَإحْسانَهُ لملِكِهِ الَّذِي مَسَحَهُ. لداوُدَ وَنَسلِهِ إلَى الأبدِ.»

He is a Tower of salvation and great deliverance to His king, and shows loving-kindness to His anointed, to David and his offspring forever.
