1 ل َيْتَ اللهَ يَقُومُ، وَأعداؤُهُ يَتَشَتَّتُونَ. وَلَيتَ كُلَّ مُقاوِمِيهِ يَهرُبُونَ مِنْ أمامِهِ!

God is beginning to arise, and His enemies to scatter; let them also who hate Him flee before Him!

2 ل َيْتَ الأشرارَ يَختَفُونَ مِنْ حَضْرَةِ اللهِ، كَما يَتَفَرَّقُ الدُّخانُ الخارِجُ مِنَ النّارِ، وَكَما يَذُوبُ الشَّمعُ أمامَها.

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish before the presence of God.

3 و َلَيْتَ الصّالِحِينَ يَبتَهِجُونَ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ. لَيتَهُمْ يَطِيرُونَ فَرَحاً!

But let the righteous be glad; let them be in high spirits and glory before God, yes, let them rejoice!

4 غ َنُّوا للهِ، سَبِّحُوا اسْمَهُ بِالتَّرنِيمِ. هَيِّئُوا الطَّرِيقَ لِلرّاكِبِ عَبرَ الصَّحراءِ. ابتَهِجُوا أمامَ مَنِ اسْمُهُ ياه.

Sing to God, sing praises to His name, cast up a highway for Him Who rides through the deserts—His name is the Lord—be in high spirits and glory before Him!

5 ا للهُ فِي مَسكِنِهِ المُقَدَّسِ هُوَ أبٌ لِمَنْ لَيسَ لَهُمْ أبٌ، وَحامِي الأرامِلِ.

A father of the fatherless and a judge and protector of the widows is God in His holy habitation.

6 ي ُسْكِنُ اللهُ المُتَوَحِّدِينَ فِي بَيتٍ. أمّا المُتَمَرِّدُونَ فَفِي أرْضٍ ناشِفَةٍ يَسكُنُونَ.

God places the solitary in families and gives the desolate a home in which to dwell; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity; but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

7 ل َمّا مَضَيتَ أمامَ شَعبِكَ، وَخَرَجتَ إلَى الصَّحراءِ. سِلاهْ

O God, when You went forth before Your people, when You marched through the wilderness— Selah!—

8 و َأمطَرَتِ السَّماءُ حِمَماً أمامَ اللهِ، اهتَزَّتْ وَذابَتْ سِيناءُ نَفسُها أمامَ إلَهِ إسرائِيلَ!

The earth trembled, the heavens also poured down at the presence of God; yonder Sinai quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9 أ رسَلْتَ مَطَراً غِزِيراً يا اللهُ، وَأصلَحتَ أرْضكَ المُنهَكَةَ.

You, O God, did send a plentiful rain; You did restore and confirm Your heritage when it languished and was weary.

10 ه ُناكَ استَقَرَّتْ قُطعانُكَ. وَأنتَ هَيَّأتَ الأرْضَ بِبَرَكاتٍ كَثِيرَةٍ لِلمَساكِينِ.

Your flock found a dwelling place in it; You, O God, in Your goodness did provide for the poor and needy.

11 س َيِّدِي يَأمُرُ، وَجَيشٌ عَظِيمٌ مِنَ النّاسِ يَنشُرُ الأخبارَ:

The Lord gives the word; the women who bear and publish are a great host.

12 « المُلُوكُ الأقوِياءُ وَجُيُوشُهُمْ فَرُّوا! وَالمَرأةُ الَّتِي لَزِمَتْ بَيتَها لَها نَصِيبٌ مِنَ الغَنائِمِ.

The kings of the enemies’ armies, they flee, they flee! She who tarries at home divides the spoil.

13 و َالَّذِينَ بَقُوا لِرِعايَةِ الأغنامِ فِي الحَظائِرِ، لَهُمْ ثَروَةٌ خُرافِيَّةٌ. لَهُمْ أجنِحَةُ يَمامٍ مُغَشّاةٌ بِالفِضَّةِ، وَرِيشٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ!»

Though you may lie among the sheepfolds the wings of a dove are covered with silver, its pinions excessively green with gold.

14 ف َرَّقَ اللهُ القَدِيرُ المُلُوكَ كَالثَّلجِ النّازِلِ عَلَى جَبَلِ صَلْمُونَ.

When the Almighty scattered kings in, it was as when it snows on Zalmon.

15 ي ا جَبَلَ باشانَ العَظِيمَ، يا جَبَلَ باشانَ ذا القِمَمِ الكَثِيرَةِ!

Is Mount Bashan the high mountain of summits, Mount Bashan the mount of God?

16 أ يُّها الجَبَلُ كَثِيرُ القِمَمِ، لِماذا تَحسِدُ الجَبَلَ الَّذِي اشتَهاهُ اللهُ مَقاماً لَهُ، حيثُ يَسكُنُ اللهُ إلَى الأبَدِ؟

Why do you look with grudging and envy, you many-peaked mountains, at the mountain which God has desired for His dwelling place? Yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever.

17 م ِنْ سِيناءَ يأتِي الرَّبُّ إلَى مَسْكَنِهِ المُقَدَّسِ مَعَ مَلايِينَ مِنْ مَركِباتِهِ.

The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands. The Lord is among them as He was in Sinai, in the Holy Place (the sanctuary in Jerusalem).

18 ق َدْ صَعِدْتَ إلَى الأعالِي، سَبَيتَ غَنيمَةً، وَأعطَيتَ النّاسَ عَطايا. حَتَّى مِنَ المُتَمَرِّدِينَ عَلَيكَ! صَعِدَ اللهُ إلَى العَلاءِ لِيَسكُنَ.

You have ascended on high. You have led away captive a train of vanquished foes; You have received gifts of men, yes, of the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell there with them.

19 م ُبارَكٌ الرَّبُّ، يُخَفِّفُ أحمالَنا كُلُّ يَومٍ! اللهُ هُوَ خَلاصُنا. سِلاهْ

Blessed be the Lord, Who bears our burdens and carries us day by day, even the God Who is our salvation! Selah!

20 ل ِنُسَبِّحِ اللهَ، فَهُوَ الإلَهُ الَّذِي يُنَجِّينا. لِنُسَبِّحِ الرَّبَّ الإلَهَ الَّذِي يَملِكُ مَنافِذَ المَوتِ.

God is to us a God of deliverances and salvation; and to God the Lord belongs escape from death.

21 س َيَسحَقُ اللهُ رَأسَ أعدائِهِ، الرَّأسَ الكَثِيرَةَ الشَّعرِ لِلسّالِكِ فِي سَبَلِ الإثمِ.

But God will shatter the heads of His enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as goes on still in his trespasses and guilty ways.

22 ق الَ الرَّبُّ: «مِنْ باشانَ وَمِنْ أعماقِ البَحرِ سَأستَرِدُّ جُثَثَ الأعداءِ،

The Lord said, I will bring back from Bashan; I will bring them back from the depths of the Sea,

23 ل ِكَي تَمشِيَ بِقَدَمِيكَ وَسَطَ دِمائِهِمْ، وَتَلحَسَ كِلابُكَ نَصيبَها مِنهُمْ.»

That you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their share from the foe.

24 س َيَرَى الأعداءُ مَوكِبَ نَصرِكَ يا اللهُ! مَوكِبُ نَصرِ إلَهِي، مَلِكِي، وَهُوَ يَتَقَدَّمُ فِي قَداسَةٍ.

They see Your goings, O God, even the of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

25 ا لمُرَنِّمُونَ يَتَقَدَّمُونَ المَوكِبَ وَوَراءَهُمُ العازِفُونَ، تُحِيطُ بِهِمْ فَتَياتٌ يَضرِبْنَ بِالدُّفُوفِ.

The singers go in front, the players on instruments last; between them the maidens are playing on tambourines.

26 س َبِّحُوا اللهَ يا شَعبَهُ فِي الاجتِماعِ. يا نَسلَ إسرائِيلَ سَبِّحُوا اللهَ.

Bless, give thanks, and gratefully praise God in full congregations, even the Lord, O you who are from the fountain of Israel.

27 ه ا هُوَ بَنْيامِيْنُ الصَّغِيرُ يَقُودُهُمْ، وَزُعَماءُ يَهُوذا آمِرُهُمْ، وَزُعَماءُ زَبُولُونَ وَنَفتالِي!

There is little Benjamin in the lead, the princes of Judah and their company, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

28 أ َظْهِرْ قُوَّتَكَ يا اللهُ، أَظْهِر قُوَّتَكَ، يا اللهُ، كَما فَعَلْتَ فِي الماضِي.

Your God has commanded your strength; O God, display Your might and strengthen what You have wrought for us!

29 ي ُحْضِرُ مُلُوكُ الأرْضِ هَدِيَّةً إلَى هَيْكَلِكَ فِي القُدْسِ.

for Your temple at Jerusalem kings shall bring gifts to You.

30 ع اقِبْ يا اللهُ قَطِيعَ المُستَنقَعاتِ! وَبِّخِ الثِّيرانَ فِي قَطِيعِ الغُرَباءِ. اخزِ هَؤُلاءِ النّاسَ الَّذِينَ أحَبُّوا الحَربَ فَفَرَّقْتَهُمْ. لِيَأتُوا إلَيكَ زَحفاً عَلَى الوَحلِ حامِلِينَ فِضَّتَهُمْ!

Rebuke the wild beasts dwelling among the reeds, the herd of bulls (the leaders) with the calves of the peoples; trample underfoot those who lust for tribute money; scatter the peoples who delight in war.

31 م ِنْ مِصرَ سَيَأتِي حامِلُو الضَّرائِبِ، وَيُعَجِّلُ أهلُ الحَبَشَةِ بِإرسالِ هَداياهُمْ.

Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall hasten to stretch out her hands to God.

32 غ َنُّوا للهِ، يا مَمالِكَ الأرْضِ. سَبِّحُوا الرَّبَّ غِناءً! سِلاهْ

Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth, sing praises to the Lord! Selah!

33 غ َنُّوا لِلرّاكِبِ عَلَى أعلَى السَّماواتِ القَدِيمَةِ. غَنُّوا لِمَنْ يُرعِدُ بِصَوتِهِ القَوِيِّ.

to Him Who rides upon the heavens, the ancient heavens; behold, He sends forth His voice, His mighty voice.

34 ر َنِّمُوا تَرانِيمَ تَسبِيحٍ للهِ، الَّذِي جَلالُهُ فَوقَ شَعبِهِ إسرائِيلَ وَقُوَّتُهُ فِي السَّماءِ!

Ascribe power and strength to God; His majesty is over Israel, and His strength and might are in the skies.

35 م َهُوبٌ أنتَ يا اللهُ فِي هَيكَلِكَ المُقَدَّسِ. اللهُ يُعطِي قُدرَةً وَقُوَّةً لِشَعبِهِ. تَبارَكَ اللهُ.

O God, awe-inspiring, profoundly impressive, and terrible are You out of Your holy places; the God of Israel Himself gives strength and fullness of might to His people. Blessed be God!
