1 ¶ Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless the name of his holiness.

بارِكِي اللهَ يا نَفسِي، وَيا كُلَّ كَيانِي، بارِكِ اسْمَهُ القُدُّوسَ!

2 B less the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

بارِكِي اللهَ يا نَفسِي، وَلا تَغِبْ عَنْ ذاكِرَتِكِ أعمالُ لُطفِهِ وَإحْسانِهِ أبَداً!

3 W ho forgives all thine iniquities; who heals all thy diseases;

فَهُوَ مَنْ يَغفِرُ خَطاياكِ. وَهُوَ مَنْ يَشفِي كُلَّ أمراضِكِ.

4 w ho redeems thy life from destruction; who crowns thee with mercy and compassion;

هُوَ الَّذِي يَفدِي حَياتَكِ مِنَ الحُفرَةِ. هُوَ مَنْ يُغَلِّفُكِ بِالمَحَبَّةِ الحَقِيقِيَّةِ وَالرَّأفَةِ.

5 w ho satisfies thy mouth with good things so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

هُوَ مَنْ يُشْبِعُكَ وَيَملأُكَ بِالعَطايا الصّالِحَةِ، وَيُجدَدِّدُ شَبابَكِ كَنَسرٍ فَتِيٍّ.

6 ¶ The LORD executes righteousness and justice unto all that suffer violence.

يَعْمَلُ اللهُ بِالعَدلِ وَيُنْصِفُ كُلَّ المَسْحُوقِينَ.

7 H e made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the sons of Israel.

عَلَّمَ مُوسَى طُرُقَهُ، وَأرَى بَنِي إسرائِيلَ أعمالَهُ القَوِيَّةَ.

8 T he LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

اللهُ حَنُونٌ وَرَحِيمٌ حَلِيمٌ وَمَلِيءٌ بالمَحَبَّةِ.

9 H e will not always chide, neither will he keep his anger for ever.

لِذَلِكَ لا يُخاصِمُنا إلَى الأبَدِ، وَلا يُبقِي إلَى الأبَدِ غَضَبَهُ.

10 H e has not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

لا يُعاقِبُنا عَلَى قَدْرِ خَطايانا، وَلا يَقتَصُّ مِنّا حَسَبَ ذُنُوبِنا.

11 F or as the heavens are high above the earth so does he increase his mercy over those that fear him.

كَما تَرتَفِعُ السَّماواتُ عَلَى الأرْضِ، هَكَذا تَفِيضُ رَحْمَتُهُ، وَتَكْثُرُ لأَتْباعِهِ.

12 A s far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our rebellions from us.

يُبعِدُ عَنّا خَطايانا، بُعْدَ الشَّرقِ عَنِ الغَربِ!

13 L ike as a father has mercy upon his children, so the LORD has mercy upon those that fear him.

يَحنُو اللهُ عَلَى خائِفِيهِ، كَما يَحنُو أبٌ عَلَى أبنائِهِ.

14 F or he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.

إنَّهُ يَعْرِفُ تَكْوِينَنا، يَعلَمُ أنَّنا مِنَ التُّرابِ شُكِّلْنا.

15 A s for man, his days are as grass; as an open flower of the field, so he blossoms.

يَعلَمُ أنَّ حَياةَ النّاسِ قَصِيرَةٌ كَالعُشْبِ، كَزَهرَةٍ بَرِّيَّةٍ تَطلُعُ فَجأةً،

16 F or the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place shall know it no more.

وَفَجأةً تَختَفِي حِينَ تَهُبُّ الرِّياحُ الجافَّةُ، فَلا يَستَطِيعُ أحَدٌ أنْ يَعْرِفَ أينَ كانَتْ تَنمُو.

17 B ut the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon those that fear him, and his righteousness unto the children’s children,

أمّا مَحَبَّةُ اللهِ الحَقِيقِيَّةُ لأتباعِهِ، وَأعمالُهُ الصّالِحَةُ لأولادِهِمْ، فَعَلَى الدَّوامِ كانَتْ، وَكَذَلِكَ سَتَظَلُّ.

18 t o such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

اللهُ سَيُظهِرُ مَحَبَّتَهُ وَأعمالَهُ الصّالِحَةَ لِلَّذِينَ يَحفَظُونَ عَهدَهُ، وَيُطِيعُونَ وَصاياهُ.

19 ¶ The LORD has prepared his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

نَصَبَ اللهُ فِي السَّماءِ عَرشَهُ، وَعَلَى الجَمِيعِ يَمتَدُّ حُكمُهُ.

20 B less the LORD, ye his angels, valiant and strong, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

يا مَلائِكَةَ اللهِ ، بارِكُوهُ! بارِكُوهُ أيُّها المُحارِبُونَ الأقوِياءُ الَّذِينَ يُطِيعُونَ أوامِرَهُ، السّامِعُونَ كَلامَهُ.

21 B less ye the LORD, all ye his hosts, ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

بارِكُوا اللهَ يا كُلَّ جُيُوشِ السَّماءِ وَخُدّامَهُ المُنَفِّذِينَ مَشِيئَتَهُ!

22 B less the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

يا كُلَّ خَلقِ اللهِ ، بارِكُوهُ فِي كُلِّ مَكانٍ فِي مُلكِهِ! بارِكِي اللهَ يا نَفسِي!
