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

We give thanks to You, O God. We give thanks that Your name is near. Men tell about the great things You have done.

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

You say, “When the right time has come, I will be right and fair in deciding who is guilty or not.

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

When the earth and all its people shake, it is I Who will hold it together.

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

I said to the proud, ‘Do not speak with pride.’ And I said to the sinful, ‘Do not lift up the horn.

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

Do not lift your horn up high. Do not speak in your pride.’”

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

For honor does not come from the east or the west or from the desert.

7 ل َكِنَّ اللهَ القاضِي هُوَ الَّذِي يُذِلُّ وَيَرفَعُ!

But God is the One Who decides. He puts down one and brings respect to another.

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

For there is a cup in the Lord’s hand. It is full of strong wine that is well mixed. He pours out from it, and all the sinful people of the earth must drink all of it.

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

But as for me, I will tell of it forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

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

He will cut off all the horns of the sinful. But the horns of those who are right with God will be lifted up.
