1 D avid spoke the words of this song to the Lord on the day the Lord saved him from all who hated him, and from Saul.

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

2 H e said, “The Lord is my rock, my strong place, and the One Who sets me free.

فَقالَ: « اللهُ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي الأمِيْنُ.

3 H e is my God, my rock, where I go to be safe. He is my covering and the horn that saves me, my strong place where I go to be safe. You save me from being hurt.

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 call upon the Lord, Who should be praised. I am saved from those who hate me.

دَعَوْتُ الله الذي يَسْتَحِقُّ التَّسْبيحَ، فخَلَصْتُ مِنْ أعْدائي!

5 “ For the waves of death were all around me. The storm that destroys made me afraid.

«أحاطَتْ أمْواجُ المَوتِ بِي، وَهاجَمَتنِي سُيُولُ الهَلاكِ.

6 T he cords of the grave were around me. The nets of death came against me.

حِبالُ الهاوِيَةِ كُلُّها كانَتْ حَولِي. وَأفخاخُ المَوتِ مِنْ أمامِي.

7 I n my trouble I called upon the Lord. Yes, I cried to my God. From His house He heard my voice. My cry for help came into His ears.

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

8 “ Then the earth shook. The mountains were shaking. They shook because He was angry.

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

9 S moke went up from His nose. Fire that destroyed came from His mouth. Burnt pieces of wood were set on fire by it.

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

10 H e tore open the heavens and came down, with darkness under His feet.

شَقَّ اللهُ السماءَ! وَقَفَ فَوْقَ غَيْمَةٍ سَميكةٍ داكنةٍ!

11 H e sat on a cherub and flew. He was seen on the wings of the wind.

كانَ يَطيرُ مُمتَطِياً مَلائِكَةَ الكَرُوبِيمَ المُحَلِّقةَ، وقدِ امْتطى الرّيحَ.

12 H e made darkness around Him his tent, gathering waters, and clouds of the sky.

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

13 F rom the light before Him, burnt pieces of wood were set on fire.

انطلقَتِ الجَمراتُ كَالفَحْمِ المُشْتَعِلِ من الضَّوْءِ السّاطِعِ مِنْ حَولِهِ!

14 “ The Lord thundered from heaven. The Most High let His voice be heard.

أرْعَدَ الله في السَّماءِ، وسمَّعَ العليُّ صوتَهُ.

15 H e sent out arrows, and made them run. He sent lightning, and made them troubled and afraid.

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

16 T hen the bottom of the sea was seen. The bottom of the world lost its covering, at the strong words of the Lord, at the rush of breath from His nose.

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

17 “ He sent from above. He took me. He pulled me out of many waters.

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

18 H e saved me from those strong ones who hated me. For they were too strong for me.

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

19 T hey came upon me in the day of my trouble. But the Lord held me up.

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

20 H e brought me into a big place. He saved me, because He was pleased with me.

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

21 “ The Lord has paid me for being right with Him. He has paid me for my clean hands.

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. I have not acted in sin against my God.

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

23 F or all His Laws were in front of me, and I did not turn aside from them.

أذكُرُ دائِماً شرائعَهُ وَأتأمَّلُ بها، وَلا أحِيدُ عَنها!

24 I was without blame before Him. I kept myself from guilt.

أبقى أمِيناً لَهُ، وَأحفظ نفسي نَقِيّاً بِلا إثْمٍ أمامَهُ.

25 S o the Lord has paid me for being right with Him, for being clean in His eyes.

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

26 “ With the faithful You show Yourself faithful. With the one without blame You show Yourself without blame.

«تُظهِرُ أمانَتَكَ لِلأمَناءِ، وَصَلاحَكَ لِلصّالِحِينَ.

27 W ith the pure You show Yourself pure. But with the sinful, You show Yourself wise.

تُظْهِرُ نَقاءَكَ مَعَ الأنْقِياءِ. وَتُظْهِرُ حِيَلَكَ مَعَ المُنْحَرِفِينَ.

28 Y ou save a troubled people. But Your eyes are on the proud whom You put to shame.

تُساعِدُ المُتواضِعينَ يا الله. لَكِنَّكَ تَجلُبُ العارَ عَلَى المُتفاخِرينَ.

29 “ For You are my lamp, O Lord. The Lord gives light to my darkness.

أنْتَ مِصْباحِي يا اللهُ ، اللهُ يُضيءُ الظُّلْمَةَ مِنْ حَولي.

30 F or by You I can run through an army. By my God I can jump over a wall.

بمَعُونَتِكَ أدُوسُ جُيُوشاً. بمَعُونَةِ اللهِ، أتَسَلَّقُ جُدْرانَ العَدُوِّ.

31 A s for God, His way is perfect. The Word of the Lord is proven true. He is a covering to all who go to Him to be safe.

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

32 “ For who is God, but the Lord? Who is a Rock, except our God?

ما مِنْ إلهٍ غَيْرُ اللهِ ، وَما مِنْ صَخْرَةٍ سِواه.

33 G od is my strong place. He has made my way safe.

اللهُ حِصْنِيَ المَنِيْعُ. يُساعِدُ الأنقياءَ ليسلُكوا الدرب الصحيح،

34 H e makes my feet like the feet of a deer. He sets me safe on high places.

يُساعِدُنِي فأعْدوَ سَريعاً كَالغَزالِ! يُبْقيني فوقَ المشارِفِ.

35 H e makes my hands ready for battle, so that my arms can use a bow of brass.

يُدَرِّبني لِشَنِّ الحَرْبِ، فتُطلِقَ ذِراعَيَّ سهاماً قَويَّةً.

36 “ You have given me the covering of Your saving power. Your help makes me strong.

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

37 Y ou give me a big place for my steps. I have not fallen.

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

38 I went after those who hated me and destroyed them. I did not return until they were destroyed.

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

39 I destroyed them and cut them through, so that they did not rise. They fell under my feet.

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

40 F or You have dressed me with strength for battle. You have put under me those who came against me.

«شَدَّدْتَنِي في المَعْرَكَةِ، وَجَعَلْتَ أعدائي يَنْهارُون أمامِي.

41 Y ou made those who fought me turn their backs to me. I destroyed those who hated me.

مَنَحْتَنِي الفُرْصَةَ لأنالَ مِنْ عَدُوّي، وَأهزِمَ الذِي يَكْرَهُنِي.

42 T hey looked, but there was no one to save them. They cried to 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 fine as the dust of the earth. I crushed and stepped on them like the mud of the streets.

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

44 “ You have saved me from trouble with my people. You have kept me as head of the nations. People whom I have not known serve me.

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

45 S trangers obey me. As soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.

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

46 S trangers lost their strength of heart. They came out of their secret places shaking with fear.

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

47 “ The Lord lives. Thanks be to my Rock. May God be honored, the Rock that saves me.

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

48 H e is the God Who punishes for me. He puts people under my rule.

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

49 H e makes me free from those who hate me. You lift me above those who come against me. You save me from the man who wants to hurt me.

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

50 S o I will give thanks to You among the nations, O Lord. I will sing praises to Your name.

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

51 W ith great power He saves His king. He shows loving-kindness to His chosen one, to David and his children forever.”

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