1 I did not give up waiting for the Lord. And He turned to me and heard my cry.

انْتَظَرْتُ اللهَ بِصَبْرٍ. فَالتَفَتَ إلَيَّ وَسَمِعَ صُراخِي.

2 H e brought me up out of the hole of danger, out of the mud and clay. He set my feet on a rock, making my feet sure.

مِنَ المَوْتِ نَشَلَنِي. أخرَجَنِي مِنَ الوَحلِ. عَلَى أرْضٍ ثابِتَةٍ وَضَعَ قَدَمَيَّ، وَثَبَّتَ خَطَواتِي.

3 H e put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and will put their trust in the Lord.

وَضَعَ تَرنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً عَلَى شَفَتَيَّ، تَرنِيمَةَ شُكْرٍ لإلَهِنا. كَثِيرُونَ سَيَرَوْنَ أعْمالَهُ، فَيَهابُونَ اللهِ وَيَتَّكِلُونَ عَلَيهِ.

4 H ow happy is the man who has made the Lord his trust, and has not turned to the proud or to the followers of lies.

هَنِيئاً لِمَنْ وَضَعَ ثِقَتَهُ فِي اللهِ ، وَلا يَلجَأُ إلَى الشَّياطِينِ وَالآلِهَةِ المُزَيَّفَةِ.

5 O Lord my God, many are the great works You have done, and Your thoughts toward us. No one can compare with You! If I were to speak and tell of them, there would be too many to number.

يا إلَهِي ، أنتَ صَنَعْتَ عَجائِبَ كَثِيرَةً. رائِعَةٌ هِيَ خُطَطُكَ لَنا، وَلَيسَ مَنْ يَقدِرُ أنْ يَذكُرَها كُلَّها. سَأُخبِرُ بِها مَرَّةً بَعدَ مَرَّةٍ، مَعَ أنَّها لا تُحصَى.

6 Y ou have not wanted gifts given on the altar in worship. You have opened my ears. You have not wanted burnt gifts or gifts to cover sins.

أنتَ لا تُسَرُّ بِالذَّبائِحِ وَالقَرابِينِ، بَلْ فَتَحْتُ أُذُنَيَّ لِصَوتِكَ. لَمْ تَطلُبْ ذَبائِحَ صاعِدَةً وَذَبائِحَ خَطِيَّةٍ.

7 T hen I said, “Look, I have come. It is written about me in the book.

لِهَذا قُلْتُ: «ها قَدْ جِئْتُ. مَكتُوبٌ هَذا عَنِّي فِي الكِتابِ.

8 I am happy to do Your will, O my God. Your Law is within my heart.”

رَغبَتِي أنْ أفعَلَ مَشِيئَتَكَ يا إلَهِي، وَشَرِيعَتُكَ هِيَ فِي قَلْبِي.»

9 I have told the good news about what is right and good in the big meeting with many people. You know I will not close my lips, O Lord.

بَشَّرْتُ بِأعمالِكَ الحَسَنَةِ بَينَ الجَماعَةِ الكَبِيرَةِ. وَأنتَ، يا اللهُ ، تَعلَمُ أنَّنِي لا أُقفِلُ شَفَتَيَّ.

10 I have not hidden what is right and good with You in my heart. I have spoken about how faithful You are and about Your saving power. I have not hidden Your loving-kindness and Your truth from the big meeting.

لَمْ أكتِمْ فِي قَلبِي أعمالَكَ الصّالِحَةَ. بَلْ جاهَرْتُ بِإخلاصِكَ وَخَلاصِكَ. عَنِ الجَماعَةِ الكَبِيرَةِ لَمْ أُخفِ شَيئاً مِنْ صِدْقِ مَحَبَّتِكَ وَأمانَتِكَ.

11 O Lord, You will not keep Your loving-pity from me. Your loving-kindness and Your truth will always keep me safe.

فَلا تَمنَعْ، يا اللهُ ، عَنِّي رَحمَتِكَ. وَبِصِدْقِ مَحَبَّتِكَ وَأمانَتِكَ احمِنِي دَوْماً.

12 T oo many troubles gather around me. My sins have taken such a hold on me that I am not able to see. There are more of them than there are hairs on my head. And the strength of my heart has left me.

لِأنَّ أشْراراً بِلا عَدَدٍ قَدْ حاصَرُونِي. وَخَطايايَ أمسَكَتْ بِي وَلا أرَى مَهرَباً. خَطايايَ أكثَرُ مِنْ شَعْرِ رَأْسِي. وَشَجاعَتِي فارَقَتْنِي.

13 B e pleased to save me, O Lord. Hurry, O Lord, to help me.

أرْجُوكَ أنقِذْنِي يا اللهُ! يا اللهُ ، أسرِعْ إلَى مَعُونَتِي!

14 L et all who want to destroy my life be ashamed and troubled. Let those who want to hurt me be turned away without honor.

لَيتَ السّاعِينَ إلَى مَوْتِي يَخزَوْنَ وَيُهزَمُونَ! لَيتَ مَنْ يُرِيدُونَ أذِيَّتِي يَسقُطُونَ وَيَندَحِرُونَ!

15 L et those who say to me, “O! O!” be filled with fear because of their shame.

لَيتَ المُتَهَكِّمِينَ عَلَيَّ يَخرَسُونَ فِي ذُلِّهِمْ وَخِزْيِهِمْ.

16 B ut let all who look for You have joy and be glad in You. Let those who love Your saving power always say, “The Lord be honored!”

وَلْيَبتَهِجْ وَيَفْرَحْ كُلُّ مَنْ يَطلُبُكَ. لِيَقُلْ مُحِبُّو خَلاصِكَ دائِماً: «عَظِيمٌ هُوَ اللهُ!»

17 B ecause I suffer and am in need, let the Lord think of me. You are my help and the One Who sets me free. O my God, do not wait.

لَكِنِ انظُرْ إلَيَّ يا رَبِّي، لأنِّي أنا مِسكِينٌ وَبائِسٌ. إلَهِي، عَوْنِي وَخَلاصِي أنتَ. فَلا تَتَأخَّرْ.
