1 إ لَهِي، إلَهِي، لِماذا تَرَكْتَنِي؟ أأنْتَ أبْعَدُ مِنْ أنْ تُخَلِّصَنِي، أوْ تَسمَعَ صَرَخاتِي؟

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? far from my salvation, from the words of my groaning?

2 إ لَهِي، فِي النَّهارِ دَعَوْتُكَ فَلَمْ تُجِبْ. وَطَوالَ اللَّيلِ لَمْ أسكُتْ.

My God, I cry by day, and thou answerest not; and by night, and there is no rest for me:

3 ل َكِنَّكَ أنتَ القُدُّوسُ. مُتَوَّجٌ أنتَ عَلَى عَرْشِ تَسبِيحاتِ شَعبِكَ.

And thou art holy, thou that dwellest amid the praises of Israel.

4 ع َلَيكَ اتَّكَلَ آباؤُنا. اتَّكَلُوا عَلَيكَ فَأنقَذْتَهُمْ.

Our fathers confided in thee: they confided, and thou didst deliver them.

5 ص َرَخُوا إلَيكَ فَنَجُوا. عَلَيكَ اتَّكَلُوا، فَلَمْ تَخذِلْهُمْ.

They cried unto thee, and were delivered; they confided in thee, and were not confounded.

6 ف َهَلْ أنا دُودَةٌ لا إنسانٌ؟ أأنا شَيءٌ يَحتَقِرُهُ النّاسُ؟

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and the despised of the people.

7 ف َكُلُّ مَنْ يَرانِي يَهزَأُ بِي. يَمُدُّونَ ألسِنَتَهُمْ وَيَهُزُّونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ عَلَيَّ.

All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head,

8 ي َقُولُونَ: لِيَدْعُ اللهَ! فَيُنقِذَهُ، وَيُخَلِّصَهُ بِما أنَّهُ مَسرُورٌ بِهِ!

Commit it to Jehovah—let him rescue him; let him deliver him, because he delighteth in him!

9 أ مّا أنا، فَقَدْ أخْرَجْتَنِي سالِماً مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّي. طَمْأنتَنِي وَأنا بَعْدُ أرْضَعُ.

But thou art he that took me out of the womb; thou didst make me trust, upon my mother's breasts.

10 أ ُلْقِيْتُ بَينَ ذِراعَيكَ مُنذُ وُلِدْتُ. كُنتَ إلَهِي وَأنا فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّي.

I was cast upon thee from the womb; thou art my God from my mother's belly.

11 ف َلا تَترُكْنِي لِأنَّ الضِّيقَ قَرِيبٌ، وَلا مُعِينَ لِي!

Be not far from me, for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

12 أ حاطَ بِي أعدائِي كَالثِّيرانِ، كَثِيرانِ باشانَ يُطَوِّقُونَنِي!

Many bulls have encompassed me; Bashan's strong ones have beset me round.

13 ف تَحُوا أفواهَهُمْ كَأسَدٍ غاضِبٍ مُزَمْجِرٍ يَنقَضُّ عَلَى فَرِيسَتِهِ.

They gape upon me with their mouth, a ravening and a roaring lion.

14 ا نسَكَبْتُ كَالماءِ، وَانفَصَلَتْ كُلُّ عِظامِي. وَكالشَّمْعِ ذابَ قَلْبِي داخِلِي.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is become like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

15 ج َفَّتْ قُوَّتِي كَقِطعَةِ فَخّارٍ. وَالتَصَقَ لِسانِي بِسَقْفِ حَلْقِي. وَأنتَ وَضَعتَنِي عَلَى حافَّةِ القَبْرِ.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my palate; and thou hast laid me in the dust of death.

16 أ حاطَ بِي الأشرارُ كَكِلابِ باشانَ. أطبَقَتْ عَلَيَّ جَماعَةٌ مِنْ فاعِلِي الشَّرِّ. وَكَأسَدٍ ثَقَبُوا يَدَيَّ وَرِجلَيَّ.

For dogs have encompassed me; an assembly of evil-doers have surrounded me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

17 أ رَى كُلَّ عِظامِي. وَهُمْ يُحَدِّقُونَ بِي وَيَتَفَرَّسُونَ فِيَّ.

I may count all my bones. They look, they stare upon me;

18 ي َقتَسِمُونَ ثِيابِي فِيْما بَيْنَهُمْ، وَعَلَى قَمِيْصِي يُلقُونَ القُرعَةَ.

They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

19 ف َلا تَبعُدْ عَنِّي هَكَذا يا اللهُ. يا قُوَّتِي، أسْرِعْ إلَى عَوْنِي.

But thou, Jehovah, be not far; O my strength, haste thee to help me.

20 م ِنَ السَّيفِ نَجِّ نَفسِي. وَمِنَ الكِلابِ خَلِّصْ حَياتِي الوَحِيدَةَ!

Deliver my soul from the sword; my only one from the power of the dog;

21 خ َلِّصْنِي مِنْ فَمِ الأسَدِ، احمِنِي مِنْ قُرُونِ الثِّيرانِ.

Save me from the lion's mouth. Yea, from the horns of the buffaloes hast thou answered me.

22 ل ِهَذا سَأُعلِنُ اسْمَكَ لإخوَتِي، وَسَأُسَبِحُكَ وَسَطَ جَماعَةِ شَعبِكَ.

I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

23 س َبِّحُوا اللهَ يا مَنْ تَخافُونَهُ! كَرِّمُوهُ يا نَسلَ يَعقُوبَ! اتَّقُوهُ يا كُلَّ نَسلِ إسْرائِيلَ.

Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and revere him, all ye the seed of Israel.

24 ف َاللهُ لا يَخجَلُ مِنَ الوُدَعاءِ المُتَألِّمِينَ وَلا يَحْتَقِرُهُمْ! لا يَختَفِي عَنْهُمْ، بَلْ يَسمَعُ عِندَما يَصْرُخُونَ إلَيهِ.

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him: but when he cried unto him, he heard.

25 م ِنْكَ يَأْتِي تَسبِيحِي فِي الاجْتِماعِ العَظِيمِ. وَسَأُوفِي بِنُذُورِي أمامَ عابِدِيكَ.

My praise is from thee, in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

26 ت َعالَوا أيُّها الوُدَعاءُ، كُلُوا وَاشْبَعُوا. سَبِّحُوا اللهَ يا مَنْ تَطلُبُونَهُ، وَلْتَحْيَ قُلُوبُكُمْ إلَى الأبَدِ!

The meek shall eat and be satisfied; they shall praise Jehovah that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

27 ي ا سُكّانَ الأرْضِ كُلِّها، تَذَكَّرُوا اللهَ وَارجِعُوا إلَيهِ! لَيتَ البَشَرَ كُلَّهُمْ يَنحَنُونَ وَيَعبُدُونَكَ.

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto Jehovah, and all the families of the nations shall worship before thee:

28 ل ِأنَّ المُلْكَ للهِ. اللهُ يَحكُمُ عَلَى كُلِّ الشُّعُوبِ.

For the kingdom is Jehovah's, and he ruleth among the nations.

29 ك ُلُّ الأغْنِياءِ وَالأصِحّاءِ سَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَسجُدُونَ. نَعَمْ، كُلُّ الَّذِينَ يَنحَدِرُونَ إلَى التُّرابِ، وَحَتَّى الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُعْطَوْا حَياةً، سَيَسجُدُونَ كُلُّهُمْ.

All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him, and he that cannot keep alive his own soul.

30 ذ ُرِّيَتُهُمْ سَتَخدِمُهُ. وَسَتُحَدِّثُ النّاسَ عَنْ فَضلِ رَبِّنا فِي الأجيالِ التّالِيَةِ.

A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

31 ي َأْتِي أُناسٌ وَيُخبِرُونَ مَنْ لَمْ يُولَدُوا بَعْدُ بِأعْمالِ اللهِ الحَسَنَةِ.

They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done.
