1 S ing for joy in the Lord, O you righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright.

ابتَهِجُوا وَرَنِّمُوا بِاللهِ أيُّها الصّالِحُونَ! التَّسبِيحُ لائِقٌ بِمُستَقِيمِي القُلُوبِ!

2 G ive thanks to the Lord with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.

سَبِّحُوا اللهَ بِعَزْفِ العُودِ! اعزِفُوا لَهُ بِقِيثارٍ ذِي عَشْرَةِ أوتارٍ.

3 S ing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy.

رَنَّمُوا لَهُ تَرنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً. أحسِنُوا العَزْفَ وَاهتِفُوا فَرَحاً.

4 F or the word of the Lord is upright, And all His work is done in faithfulness.

لِأنَّ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ صادِقَةٌ. وَهُوَ أمِينٌ فِي كُلِّ أفعالِهِ.

5 H e loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord.

يُحِبُّ الاسْتِقامَةَ وَالعَدلَ. وَالأرْضُ مَلأى بِرَحمَةِ اللهِ وَمَحَبَّتِهِ.

6 B y the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.

بِأمْرِ اللهِ خُلِقَتِ السَّماواتُ. وَكُلُّ نُجُومِ السَّماءِ وُجِدَتْ بِنَسْمَةِ فَمِهِ.

7 H e gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses.

جَمَعَ مِياهَ البَحْرِ مَعاً، وَوَضَعَ المُحِيطَ فِي مَكانِهِ.

8 L et all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

يا كُلَّ سُكّانِ الأرْضِ اتَّقُوا اللهَ. خافُوهُ يا جَميعَ سُكّانِ المَسكُونَةِ.

9 F or He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.

لِأنَّهُ يَقُولُ شَيئاً فَيَكُونَ، وَيأمُرُ فَيَصِيرُ!

10 T he Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.

قادِرٌ هُوَ اللهُ عَلَى إبْطالِ مُخَطَّطاتِ الأُمَمِ. وَعَلَى إفْناءِ نَوايا الشُّعُوبِ كُلِّها.

11 T he counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation.

أمّا قَصْدُ اللهِ فَإلَى الأبَدِ يَدُومُ. خُطَطُهُ تَبقَى جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ.

12 B lessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

هَنِيئاً لِأُمَّةٍ جَعَلَتْ اللهَ إلَهَها، لِأُمَّةٍ اختارَها اللهُ مُلْكاً.

13 T he Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men;

مِنَ السَّماءِ تَطَلَّعَ اللهُ ، وَرَأى البَشَرَ جَمِيعاً.

14 F rom His dwelling place He looks out On all the inhabitants of the earth,

مِنْ عَرشِهِ يُشرِفُ عَلَى كُلِّ سُكّانِ الأرْضِ.

15 H e who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works.

هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَهُمْ كُلَّهُمْ، وَيَفهَمُ كُلَّ ما يَفعَلُونَ.

16 T he king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not delivered by great strength.

لا يَنتَصِرُ المُلُوكُ بِكَثْرَةِ جُنُودِهِمْ، وَلا يَغلِبُ الجُنُودُ بِقُوَّتِهِمْ.

17 A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.

الخَيلُ القَوِيَّةُ لا تَضْمَنُ النَّصْرَ. وَقُوَّتُها لا تُنَجِّي.

18 B ehold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness,

ها عَينُ اللهِ تَسْهَرُ عَلَى خائِفِيهِ، يَرْعَى الَّذِينَ يَتَرَقَّبُونَ مَحَبَّتَهُ الصّادِقَةَ.

19 T o deliver their soul from death And to keep them alive in famine.

مِنَ المَوْتِ يُنقِذُهُمْ، وَفِي المَجاعَةِ يُحيِيهِمْ.

20 O ur soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.

تَتَرَقَّبُ اللهَ نُفُوسُنا، لِأنَّهُ لَنا مُعِينٌ، وَعَنّا مُحامٍ.

21 F or our heart rejoices in Him, Because we trust in His holy name.

لِأنَّنا نَفْرَحُ بِهِ. وَعَلَى اسْمِهِ القُدُّوسِ نَتَّكِلُ.

22 L et Your lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us, According as we have hoped in You.

ظَلِّلنا يا اللهُ بِرَحمَتِكَ وَمَحَبَّتِكَ، فَرَجاؤُنا هُوَ فِيكَ.
