1 I t is good to give thanks to the Lord, and sing praises to Your name, O Most High.

حَسَنٌ هُوَ تَقدِيمُ الشُّكرِ وَالتَّسْبِيحِ للهِ ، وَالتَّغَنِّي باسمِكَ أيُّها اللهُ العَلِيُّ.

2 I t is good to tell of Your loving-kindness in the morning, and of how faithful You are at night,

حَسَنٌ أنْ يُخبَرَ بِمَحَبَّتِكَ كُلَّ صَباحٍ. وَبِإخلاصِكَ فِي اللَّيلِ.

3 w ith harps, and with music of praise.

حَسَنٌ أنْ يَكُونَ التَّغَنِّي مَصحُوباً بِقَيثارَةٍ ذاتِ عَشْرَةِ أوتارٍ، وَدَندَنَةِ العُودِ.

4 F or You have made me glad by what You have done, O Lord. I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

لأنَّكَ فَرَّحتَنِي يا اللهُ بِأعمالِكَ. وَأنا أبتَهِجُ بِأعمالِ يَدَيكَ.

5 H ow great are Your works, O Lord! How deep are Your thoughts!

أعمالُكَ عَظِيمَةٌ جِدّاً يا اللهُ ، وَأفكارُكَ تَتَجاوَزُ الفَهمَ.

6 A man who cannot reason does not have much learning. A fool does not understand this.

كَثِيراً ما يُشْبِهُ النّاسُ البَهائِمَ الغَبِيَّةَ، هُمْ لا يَفهَمُونَ شَيئاً.

7 E ven if the sinful grow up like grass and all goes well with wrong-doers, they will be destroyed forever.

رُبَّما يُزهِرُ الأشرارُ كَالأزهارِ البَرِّيَّةِ، وَقَدْ يَنمُو فاعِلُو الشَّرِّ فِي كُلِّ مَكانٍ، لَكِنَّهُمْ إلَى الأبَدِ سَيُدَمَّرُونَ!

8 B ut You, O Lord, rule from Your high place forever.

أمّا أنتَ يا اللهُ ، فَإلَى الأبَدِ مُرْتَفِعٌ!

9 F or, look, those who hate You will be lost from You forever, O Lord. All those who do wrong will be destroyed.

أمّا أعداؤكَ يا اللهُ فَسَيَهلِكُونَ، وَكُلُّ فاعِلِي الشَّرِّ سَيَتَبَعثَرُونَ.

10 B ut You have lifted up my horn like that of a wild bull. New oil has been poured upon me.

وَأنتَ قَوَّيتَنِي كَثَورٍ بَرِّيٍّ. وَسكَبْتَ زَيتَكَ النَّقِيَ عَلَى رأسِي!

11 M y eyes have seen those who wait to hurt me. My ears hear the bad men who rise up against me.

أجَلْ، رَأيتُ رِجالَ العِصاباتِ يَكمُنُونَ لِي، يَتَأهَّبُونَ لِلانقِضاضِ عَلَيَّ! سَمِعْتُ أُولَئِكَ الأشرارَ وَهُمْ يَتَسَلَّلُونَ لِلهُجُومِ عَلَيَّ!

12 T he man who is right and good will grow like the palm tree. He will grow like a tall tree in Lebanon.

كَنَخلَةٍ يُزهِرُ الإنسانُ الصّالِحُ، وَكَأرْزَةٍ فِي لُبنانَ سَيَعلُو.

13 P lanted in the house of the Lord, they will grow well in the home of our God.

يُزهِرُ أُولَئِكَ المَزرُوعُونَ فِي ساحَةِ بَيتِ اللهِ إلَهِنا!

14 T hey will still give fruit when they are old. They will be full of life and strength.

حَتَّى فِي شَيخُوخَتِهِمْ سَيُواصِلُونَ الإثمارَ، كَأشجارٍ دائِمَةِ الخُضرَةِ.

15 A nd they will show that the Lord is faithful. He is my rock. There is nothing in Him that is not right and good.

لِكَي يُخبِرُوا بِأنَّ اللهَ أمينٌ، هُوَ صَخْرَتِي، وَلا ظُلمَ فِيهِ.
