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

¶ My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me and from the words of my cry?

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

O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

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

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest in the midst of the praises of Israel.

4 ع َلَيكَ اتَّكَلَ آباؤُنا. اتَّكَلُوا عَلَيكَ فَأنقَذْتَهُمْ.

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

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

They cried unto thee and were delivered: they trusted 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 despised of the people.

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

All those that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

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

Turn him over to the LORD, let him deliver him, let him save him, seeing he delighted 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 hast made me wait upon thee since I was 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 no one to help.

12 أ حاطَ بِي أعدائِي كَالثِّيرانِ، كَثِيرانِ باشانَ يُطَوِّقُونَنِي!

Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round about.

13 ف تَحُوا أفواهَهُمْ كَأسَدٍ غاضِبٍ مُزَمْجِرٍ يَنقَضُّ عَلَى فَرِيسَتِهِ.

They opened their mouth upon me as 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 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 cleaves to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

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

For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed 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 and 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 be not thou far from me, O LORD: 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 life from the power of the dog.

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

Save me from the lion’s mouth and from the horns of the unicorns.

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

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

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

Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear 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 has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the poor in spirit; neither has 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 shall be of thee in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before those that fear him.

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

The poor shall eat and be satisfied: those that seek him shall praise the LORD; 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 the LORD; and all the families of the Gentiles shall worship before thee.

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

For the kingdom is the LORD’s, and he shall have dominion over the Gentiles.

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

All those that are fat upon earth shall eat and worship; all those that go down to the dust shall bow before him; and no one can keep his own soul alive.

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 has done this.
