1 ¶ And David spoke the words of this song unto the LORD in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul.

رَنَّمَ داوُدُ كَلِماتِ هَذِهِ الأُنْشُودَةَ للهِ يَوْمَ أنْقَذَهُ اللهُ مِنْ شاوُلَ وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ أعْدائِهِ،

2 ¶ And he said, The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.

فَقالَ: « اللهُ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي الأمِيْنُ.

3 G od is my Strong One; in him will I trust: he is my shield and the horn of my saving health; my defence and my refuge; my saviour, who shall save me from violence.

هُوَ إلهِي، هُوَ الصَّخرَةُ الّتي ألتَجئُ إليها. اللهُ دِرعِي. قُوَّتُهُ تُنْقِذُني وَتَنْصُرُنِي. اللهُ مَلْجَأِي المُرْتَفِعُ، وَمَلاذِيَ الأمينُ، هُوَ مُنْقِذِي. يُنْقِذُني مِنَ الأعْداءِ العُنَفاءِ.

4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.

دَعَوْتُ الله الذي يَسْتَحِقُّ التَّسْبيحَ، فخَلَصْتُ مِنْ أعْدائي!

5 W hen the waves of death compassed me, the floods of Belial made me afraid;

«أحاطَتْ أمْواجُ المَوتِ بِي، وَهاجَمَتنِي سُيُولُ الهَلاكِ.

6 w hen the cords of Sheol compassed me about; the snares of death came before me;

حِبالُ الهاوِيَةِ كُلُّها كانَتْ حَولِي. وَأفخاخُ المَوتِ مِنْ أمامِي.

7 i n my distress I called upon the LORD and cried to my God, who heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry entered into his ears.

في ضِيقي دَعَوتُ اللهَ ، دَعَوتُ إلهي. فسَمِعَ مِنْ هَيكَلِهِ صَوْتِي. وَدَخَل صُراخِي أُذُنَيْهِ.

8 T hen the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of the heavens were moved and shook because he was wroth.

ثمَّ اهْتزَّتِ الأرْضُ وَارْتَجَفَتْ! السَّماءُ تَحَرَّكَتْ وَارْتَجَّتْ، لأنَّهُ غَضِبَ!

9 S moke went up from his nostrils, and fire devoured out of his mouth; coals were kindled by it.

مِنْ أنفِهِ خَرَجَ الدُّخانُ، ونارٌ مُشْتَعِلةٌ انْطَلَقَتْ مِنْ فَمِهِ، وَاتَّقَدَتْ مِنْها الجَمْرُ.

10 A nd he lowered the heavens and came down, and darkness was under his feet.

شَقَّ اللهُ السماءَ! وَقَفَ فَوْقَ غَيْمَةٍ سَميكةٍ داكنةٍ!

11 A nd he rode upon a cherub and flew; and he appeared upon the wings of the wind.

كانَ يَطيرُ مُمتَطِياً مَلائِكَةَ الكَرُوبِيمَ المُحَلِّقةَ، وقدِ امْتطى الرّيحَ.

12 H e placed darkness like tabernacles round about him, dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

لفَّ اللهُ الغيومَ الدّاكِنَةَ مِنْ حَولِهِ، كَما لَوْ كانَتْ خَيمَةً. جَمَعَ المِياهَ فِي الغُيومِ.

13 F rom the brightness of his presence, coals of fire were kindled.

انطلقَتِ الجَمراتُ كَالفَحْمِ المُشْتَعِلِ من الضَّوْءِ السّاطِعِ مِنْ حَولِهِ!

14 T he LORD thundered from the heavens, and the most High uttered his voice;

أرْعَدَ الله في السَّماءِ، وسمَّعَ العليُّ صوتَهُ.

15 h e sent out arrows and scattered them; he sent forth lightning, and consumed them.

وَأطلَقَ سِهامَهُ وشتَّتَ العدوَّ. أرْسَلَ اللَّه بُرُوقَهُ، فَتفرَّقَ النّاسُ مُرْتَبِكِينَ وَفِي حَيرَةٍ.

16 T hen the springs of the sea appeared and the foundations of the world were uncovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

«تكَلَّمْتَ يا اللهُ بِقوَّةٍ، ومن فمِكَ هبَّتْ ريحٌ قويَّةٌ، فتراجَعَتِ المِياهُ، حَتَّى رأينا قَعْرَ البحرِ، وَأسُسَ الأرْضِ.

17 H e extended his hand from above, he took me; he drew me out of the impetuous waters;

«مَدَّ ذِراعَهُ مِنْ عَليائِهِ، وَأمْسَكَ بِي، وَسَحَبَنِي مِنَ المِياهِ العَمِيقَةِ المُنْدَفِعةِ.

18 h e delivered me from strong enemies, from those that hated me, who were stronger than I.

خلَّصَني مِنْ أعْدائِي الذينَ هُمْ أقْوَى مِنِّي. أنقذَني مِنْ مُبغِضِيَّ، فَقَدْ كانُوا أقَوَى مِنْ أنْ أُواجَهَهُمْ وَحدِي.

19 T hey came upon me unawares in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my stay.

وَقَعْتُ فِي مُصِيبَةٍ، وَهاجَمَنِي أعْدائِي، لَكِنَّ اللهَ سَنَدَنِي وَأعانَنِي.

20 H e brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he had put his will in me.

اللهُ يُحِبُّني، لِذا أنْقَذَني، وَأخَذَنِي إلَى مَكانٍ أمِينٍ لا ضِيقَ فِيهِ.

21 T he LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has recompensed me.

سَيكافئُنِي اللهُ لأنني فعَلْتُ الصّوابَ، لَمْ أقْتَرِفْ أيَّ خطأٍ، لِذا سَيَصْنَعُ الأشياءَ الحَسَنَةَ لي.

22 F or I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.

لأنْني مَشَيتُ فِي سُبُلِ اللهِ ، وَلَمْ أُخْطِئْ إلَى إلَهِي كَالأشرارِ.

23 F or I have all his ordinances before me and am attentive to his statutes; I will not depart from them.

أذكُرُ دائِماً شرائعَهُ وَأتأمَّلُ بها، وَلا أحِيدُ عَنها!

24 A nd I was perfect before him and have kept myself from my iniquity.

أبقى أمِيناً لَهُ، وَأحفظ نفسي نَقِيّاً بِلا إثْمٍ أمامَهُ.

25 T herefore, the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness before his eyes.

لذا، سيُكافِئُنِي اللهُ حَسَبَ بِرِّي وَصلاحِي، بحسبِ الصَّلاحِ الَّذِي يَرانِي أعْمَلُهُ.

26 W ith the merciful thou art good, and with the perfect thou art upright.

«تُظهِرُ أمانَتَكَ لِلأمَناءِ، وَصَلاحَكَ لِلصّالِحِينَ.

27 W ith the pure thou art pure, and with the perverse thou art an adversary.

تُظْهِرُ نَقاءَكَ مَعَ الأنْقِياءِ. وَتُظْهِرُ حِيَلَكَ مَعَ المُنْحَرِفِينَ.

28 T hou wilt save the poor in spirit; but thine eyes are upon the haughty that thou may bring them down.

تُساعِدُ المُتواضِعينَ يا الله. لَكِنَّكَ تَجلُبُ العارَ عَلَى المُتفاخِرينَ.

29 F or thou art my lamp, O LORD, and the LORD gives light unto my darkness.

أنْتَ مِصْباحِي يا اللهُ ، اللهُ يُضيءُ الظُّلْمَةَ مِنْ حَولي.

30 F or in thee I have run through a troop; with my God I have gone over the walls.

بمَعُونَتِكَ أدُوسُ جُيُوشاً. بمَعُونَةِ اللهِ، أتَسَلَّقُ جُدْرانَ العَدُوِّ.

31 A s for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is purified; he is a shield to all those that trust in him.

«طَريقُ اللهِ كامِلٌ. كَلِمَةُ الله اجتازَتْ كَلَّ امْتِحانٍ. هُوَ تُرْسٌ لِمَنْ يَحتَمُونَ بِهِ.

32 F or what God is there except the LORD? Or who is a Strong One, except our God?

ما مِنْ إلهٍ غَيْرُ اللهِ ، وَما مِنْ صَخْرَةٍ سِواه.

33 G od is he who strengthens me with virtue; he who clears my way;

اللهُ حِصْنِيَ المَنِيْعُ. يُساعِدُ الأنقياءَ ليسلُكوا الدرب الصحيح،

34 h e who makes my feet like hinds’ feet, and he who sets me upon my high places;

يُساعِدُنِي فأعْدوَ سَريعاً كَالغَزالِ! يُبْقيني فوقَ المشارِفِ.

35 h e who trains my hands for war and causes my arms to break the bow of bronze.

يُدَرِّبني لِشَنِّ الحَرْبِ، فتُطلِقَ ذِراعَيَّ سهاماً قَويَّةً.

36 T hou hast also given me the shield of thy saving health, and thy meekness has multiplied me.

«أنْتَ حَمَيتَني يا اللهُ جَعَلْتَنِي عَظيماً، وساعَدْتَني لأهزِمَ عَدوّي.

37 T hou hast enlarged my steps under me so that my knees did not shake.

تمْنحني قُوَّةً في رِجليَّ وكاحِليَّ فأمشِيَ سريعاً من غيرِ أنْ أتَعَثَّرَ.

38 I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them and did not return until I had consumed them.

أريدُ أنْ أُطارِدَ أعدائي، حَتَّى أُهلِكُهُمْ! وَلَنْ أعُودَ حَتَّى ينتهيَ أمْرُهُم!

39 A nd I consumed them and wounded them, and they did not arise; they are fallen under my feet.

أهلَكْتُ أعْدائيَ. هَزَمتُهُم! وَلَنْ يَنْهَضُوا بَعْدَ اليَوْمِ. سَقَطَ أعدائي عِنْدَ قَدَميَّ.

40 F or thou hast girded me with strength for the battle; thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

«شَدَّدْتَنِي في المَعْرَكَةِ، وَجَعَلْتَ أعدائي يَنْهارُون أمامِي.

41 T hou hast given me the necks of my enemies, of those that hate me, that I might cut them off.

مَنَحْتَنِي الفُرْصَةَ لأنالَ مِنْ عَدُوّي، وَأهزِمَ الذِي يَكْرَهُنِي.

42 T hey looked, but there was no one to save them; even unto the LORD, but he did not answer them.

صَرَخَ أعْدائِي طَلَباً لِلْمُساعَدَةِ، لَكِنَّ ما مِنْ أحَدٍ ليُنْقِذَهُمْ. بَلْ وَنَظَروا إلَى اللهِ ، لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْتَجِبْ لَهُمْ.

43 T hen I beat them as small as the dust of the earth; I stamped them as the mire of the street and spread them abroad.

قَطَّعْتُ أعدائي، فَصارُوا كَالتُّرابِ عَلَى الأرْضِ. سَحقْتُ أعْدائي وَدُسْتُهُمْ، كَما أدُوسُ الوَحلَ فِي الشَّوارِعِ.

44 T hou also hast delivered me from the strivings of peoples; thou hast kept me to be head of the Gentiles; peoples whom I did not know have served me.

«أنْتَ أنْقَذْتني مِنْ مُؤامَراتِ شَعبِي ضِدِّي. أبْقَيْتَ عَلَيَّ حاكِماً عَلَى تِلْكَ الأُمَمِ. يَخدُمُني أُناسٌ لَمْ أعْرِفْهُمُ!

45 T he strangers trembled before my command; as soon as they heard, they obeyed me.

يَتَذَلَّلُ أمامِي أُناسٌ مِنْ بِلادٍ أُخْرَى! يُسْرِعُونَ إلَى طاعَتِي فَورَ سَماعِ أمرِي.

46 T he strangers withered away and trembled in their close places.

أولَئِكَ الغُرَباءُ يَرْتَعِدُونَ خَوْفاً. يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ مَخابِئِهِمْ وهُم يَرْتَجِفونَ مِنَ الخَوْفِ.

47 T he LORD lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God who is the rock of my salvation.

« اللهُ هُوَ الحَيُّ! أمَجِّدُ صَخْرَتِي. اللهُ عظيمٌ. هُوَ الصَّخرَةُ التي تُنْقِذُني.

48 T he God who has given me revenge and who subjects the peoples under me,

هُوَ اللهُ الذِي، من أجلي، عاقَبَ أعْدائِي جَعَلَ الشُّعوبَ تَخْضَعُ لِحُكمْي.

49 w ho brings me forth from among my enemies; thou hast lifted me up on high from among those that rose up against me; thou hast delivered me from the man of violence.

«مِنْ أعْدائِي خَلَّصْتَني! ساعَدْتَني عَلَى هَزِيمَةِ مَنْ وَقَفُوا ضِدِّي. أنقَذْتَنِي مِنَ عَديمي الرَّحمَةِ!

50 T herefore, I will confess thee among the Gentiles, O LORD, and I will sing unto thy name.

لذا أُمَجِّدُكَ وَسَطَ الأُمَمِ يا اللهُ. لذا أنْشِدُ لاسْمِكَ الأناشِيْدَ.

51 H e who makes great the saving health of his king and shows mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for ever.

«يُعيْنُ اللهُ مَلِكَهُ ليَفوزَ بِمَعارِكَ كَثيرةٍ! يُظْهِرُ اللهُ حُبَّهُ وَإحْسانَهُ لملِكِهِ الَّذِي مَسَحَهُ. لداوُدَ وَنَسلِهِ إلَى الأبدِ.»
