1 س َبِّحُوا اللهَ لِأنَّهُ صالِحٌ، لأنَّ رَحمَتَهُ إلَى الأبَدِ.

O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.

2 ي ا بَنِي إسرائِيلَ، قُولُوا هَذا: لأنَّ رَحمَتَهُ إلَى الأبَدِ.

Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

3 ي ا بَيْتَ هارُونَ، قُولُوا هَذا: لأنَّ رَحمَتَهُ إلَى الأبَدِ.

Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

4 ي ا عابِدِي اللهِ ، قُولُوا هَذا: لأنَّ رَحمَتَهُ إلَى الأبَدِ.

Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

5 ف ِي الضِّيقِ دَعَوتُ اللهَ ، فَاسْتَجابَ اللهُ وَوَسَّعَ صَدرِي.

I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.

6 ا للهُ إلَى جانِبِي فَلا أخافُ. فَما الَّذِي يُمكِنُ لِبَشَرٍ أنْ يَصنَعَهُ بِي؟

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

7 ا للهُ إلَى جانِبِي، يُعِينُنِي، فَأرَى هَزِيمَةَ أعدائِي.

The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.

8 ا لتَّوَكُّلُ عَلَى اللهِ خَيرٌ مِنَ الِاعتِمادِ عَلَى البَشَرِ.

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.

9 ا لتَّوَكُّلُ عَلَى اللهِ خَيرٌ مِنَ التَّوَكُّلِ عَلَى القادَةِ.

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.

10 م ِنْ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ أحاطَ بِي أعدائِي، فَدَعَوْتُ بِاسْمِ اللهِ وَهَزَمْتُهُمْ.

All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.

11 م ِنْ كُلِّ جانِبٍ أحاطُوا بِي، لَكِنِّي دَعَوْتُ بِاسْمِ اللهِ وَهَزَمتُهُمْ.

They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

12 أ حاطَ بِي أعْدائِي كَالنَّحلِ، لَكِنَّهُمْ بادُوا سَرِيعاً كَأشواكٍ مُحتَرِقَةٍ. فَدَعَوْتُ بِاسْمِ اللهِ وهَزَمتُهُمْ.

They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

13 ب ِكُلِّ طَرِيقَةٍ حاوَلَ أعدائِيَ إهلاكِي، لَكِنَّ اللهَ أعانَنِي!

Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the Lord helped me.

14 ق ُوَّتِي هُوَ اللهُ وَنَشِيدُ انتِصارِي، هُوَ يُنقِذُنِي.

The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

15 ت َتَعالَى أصواتُ الابتِهاجِ وَأناشِيدُ الانتِصارِ فِي خِيامِ المُنتَصِرِينَ، حِينَ يُبدِي اللهُ قُوَّتَهُ.

The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

16 ي َمِينُ اللهِ مَرفُوعَةٌ مُنتَصِرَةٌ لأنَّ اللهَ أظهَرَ قُوَّتَهُ.

The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

17 ل ِذا سَأحيا وَلَنْ أمُوتَ! وَسَأُحَدِّثُ بِأعمالِ اللهِ.

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.

18 أ دَّبَنِي اللهُ ، لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يُسَلِّمْنِي لِلمَوتِ.

The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

19 ف َافتَحُوا لِي أبوابَ البِرِّ لأدْخُلَها، وَأحْمَدَ اللهَ.

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord:

20 ه َذِهِ بَوّابَةُ اللهِ ، وَلا يَعبُرُها إلّا الأبرارُ!

this gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter.

21 أ حمَدُكَ يا اللهُ لأنَّكَ استَجَبتَ لِي، وَأنقَذتَنِي.

I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

22 ا لحَجَرُ الَّذِي رَفَضَهُ البَنّاؤُونَ صارَ حَجَرَ الأساسِ.

The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

23 ا للهُ فَعَلَ هَذا، وَهُوَ بَدِيعٌ فِي عُيُونِنا.

This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

24 ه َذا هُوَ اليَومُ الَّذِي صَنَعَهُ اللهُ ، لِنَبتَهِجْ وَنَفرَحْ فِيهِ!

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

25 خ َلِّصْنا الآنَ، نَتَوَسَّلُ إلَيكَ يا اللهُ! يا اللهُ ، نَتَوَسَّلُ إلَيكَ، أنجِحْ مَسعانا.

Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

26 م ُبارَكٌ هُوَ الآتِي بِاسْمِ اللهِ. مِنْ بَيتِ اللهِ نُبارِكُكَ.

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.

27 ي هوه هُوَ اللهُ، وَسَيَقبَلُنا. فَاربُطُوا ذَبِيحَةَ العِيدِ بِزَوايا المَذبَحِ.

God is the Lord, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

28 إ لَهِي أنتَ الَّذِي أُسَبِّحُهُ، إلَهِيَ الَّذِي أُعَظِّمُهُ!

Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

29 س َبِّحُوا اللهَ لِأنَّهُ صالِحٌ، لأنَّ رَحمَتَهُ إلَى الأبَدِ.

O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
