1 ن ُسَبِّحُكَ يا اللهُ، نُسَبِّحُكَ. قَرِيبٌ أنتَ. النّاسُ يُخْبِرُونَ عَنْ أعْمالِكَ العَجِيبَةِ.

We give praise and thanks to You, O God, we praise and give thanks; Your wondrous works declare that Your Name is near and they who invoke Your Name rehearse Your wonders.

2 ي َقُولُ اللهُ: «حِينَ أعقِدُ المَحكَمَةَ، فَإنِّي بِالإنْصافِ أقضِي!

When the proper time has come, I will judge uprightly.

3 ق َدْ تَرتَجِفُ الأرْضُ وَسُكّانُها، لَكِنِّي أُثَبِّتها وَأدعَمُ أساساتِها. سِلاهْ

When the earth totters, and all the inhabitants of it, it is I Who will poise and keep steady its pillars. Selah!

4 « أنا أمَرْتُ المُتَكَبِّرِينَ بِأنْ يَكُفُّوا عَنِ التَّكَبُّرِ. وَأمُرْتُ الأشرارَ بِأنْ يَكُفُّوا عَنِ التَّباهِي بِقُوَّتِهِمْ.

I said to the arrogant and boastful, Deal not arrogantly; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.

5 ‹ لا تَتَحَدُّوا اللهَ بِقُوَّتِكُمْ. وَبِعَجرَفَةٍ لا تَتَكَلَّمُوا.›»

Lift not up your horn on high, speak not with a stiff neck and insolent arrogance.

6 ل ِأنَّ قُوَّةَ الإنسانِ لا تَأتِي مِنَ الشَّرقِ أوْ مِنَ الغَربِ أوْ مِنَ الصَّحراءِ الجَبَلِيَّةِ.

For not from the east nor from the west nor from the south come promotion and lifting up.

7 ل َكِنَّ اللهَ القاضِي هُوَ الَّذِي يُذِلُّ وَيَرفَعُ!

But God is the Judge! He puts down one and lifts up another.

8 ف ِي يَدِ اللهِ كَأسٌ مَملُوءَةٌ نَبِيذاً أحمَرَ مَمزُوجاً بِسُمٍّ. وَسَيَسكُبُ مِنْ كَأسِهِ، وَسَيَشرَبُها أشرارُ الأرْضِ حَتَّى الثُّمالَةِ.

For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine foams and is red, well mixed; and He pours out from it, and all the wicked of the earth must drain it and drink its dregs.

9 أ مّا أنا فَأحكِي الحِكايَةَ دائِماً. أشدُو تَسبِيحاً لإلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ.

But I will declare and rejoice forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 ي َقُولُ اللهُ: «سَأُكَسِّرُ قُوَّةَ الأشرارِ، وَسَأنصُرُ الأبرارَ.»

All the horns of the ungodly also will I cut off, but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
