1 B less the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

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 your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,

فَهُوَ مَنْ يَغفِرُ خَطاياكِ. وَهُوَ مَنْ يَشفِي كُلَّ أمراضِكِ.

4 W ho redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

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

5 W ho satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

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

6 T he Lord executes righteousness And justice for all who are oppressed.

يَعْمَلُ اللهُ بِالعَدلِ وَيُنْصِفُ كُلَّ المَسْحُوقِينَ.

7 H e made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.

عَلَّمَ مُوسَى طُرُقَهُ، وَأرَى بَنِي إسرائِيلَ أعمالَهُ القَوِيَّةَ.

8 T he Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

اللهُ حَنُونٌ وَرَحِيمٌ حَلِيمٌ وَمَلِيءٌ بالمَحَبَّةِ.

9 H e will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever.

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

10 H e has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished 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 great is His mercy toward those who 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 transgressions from us.

يُبعِدُ عَنّا خَطايانا، بُعْدَ الشَّرقِ عَنِ الغَربِ!

13 A s a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who 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 like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

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 remembers 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 On those who fear Him, And His righteousness to 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 who remember His commandments to do them.

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

19 T he Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all.

نَصَبَ اللهُ فِي السَّماءِ عَرشَهُ، وَعَلَى الجَمِيعِ يَمتَدُّ حُكمُهُ.

20 B less the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word.

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

21 B less the Lord, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who 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!
