1 D avid spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,

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

2 a nd he said: “Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;

فَقالَ: « اللهُ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي الأمِيْنُ.

3 G od is my rock in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My savior, you save me from violence.

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 on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.

دَعَوْتُ الله الذي يَسْتَحِقُّ التَّسْبيحَ، فخَلَصْتُ مِنْ أعْدائي!

5 F or the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

«أحاطَتْ أمْواجُ المَوتِ بِي، وَهاجَمَتنِي سُيُولُ الهَلاكِ.

6 T he cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death caught me.

حِبالُ الهاوِيَةِ كُلُّها كانَتْ حَولِي. وَأفخاخُ المَوتِ مِنْ أمامِي.

7 I n my distress, I called on Yahweh. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry came into his ears.

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

8 T hen the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.

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

9 S moke went up out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.

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

10 H e bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.

شَقَّ اللهُ السماءَ! وَقَفَ فَوْقَ غَيْمَةٍ سَميكةٍ داكنةٍ!

11 H e rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.

كانَ يَطيرُ مُمتَطِياً مَلائِكَةَ الكَرُوبِيمَ المُحَلِّقةَ، وقدِ امْتطى الرّيحَ.

12 H e made darkness a shelter around himself: gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

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

13 A t the brightness before him, coals of fire were kindled.

انطلقَتِ الجَمراتُ كَالفَحْمِ المُشْتَعِلِ من الضَّوْءِ السّاطِعِ مِنْ حَولِهِ!

14 Y ahweh thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.

أرْعَدَ الله في السَّماءِ، وسمَّعَ العليُّ صوتَهُ.

15 H e sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and confused them.

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

16 T hen the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by Yahweh’s rebuke, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

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

17 H e sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.

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

18 H e delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.

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

19 T hey came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.

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

20 H e also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

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

21 Y ahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.

سَيكافئُنِي اللهُ لأنني فعَلْتُ الصّوابَ، لَمْ أقْتَرِفْ أيَّ خطأٍ، لِذا سَيَصْنَعُ الأشياءَ الحَسَنَةَ لي.

22 F or I have kept Yahweh’s ways, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

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

23 F or all his ordinances were before me. As for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

أذكُرُ دائِماً شرائعَهُ وَأتأمَّلُ بها، وَلا أحِيدُ عَنها!

24 I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

أبقى أمِيناً لَهُ، وَأحفظ نفسي نَقِيّاً بِلا إثْمٍ أمامَهُ.

25 T herefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.

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

26 W ith the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.

«تُظهِرُ أمانَتَكَ لِلأمَناءِ، وَصَلاحَكَ لِلصّالِحِينَ.

27 W ith the pure you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.

تُظْهِرُ نَقاءَكَ مَعَ الأنْقِياءِ. وَتُظْهِرُ حِيَلَكَ مَعَ المُنْحَرِفِينَ.

28 Y ou will save the afflicted people, But your eyes are on the haughty, that you may bring them down.

تُساعِدُ المُتواضِعينَ يا الله. لَكِنَّكَ تَجلُبُ العارَ عَلَى المُتفاخِرينَ.

29 F or you are my lamp, Yahweh. Yahweh will light up my darkness.

أنْتَ مِصْباحِي يا اللهُ ، اللهُ يُضيءُ الظُّلْمَةَ مِنْ حَولي.

30 F or by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.

بمَعُونَتِكَ أدُوسُ جُيُوشاً. بمَعُونَةِ اللهِ، أتَسَلَّقُ جُدْرانَ العَدُوِّ.

31 A s for God, his way is perfect. Yahweh’s word is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

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

32 F or who is God, besides Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God?

ما مِنْ إلهٍ غَيْرُ اللهِ ، وَما مِنْ صَخْرَةٍ سِواه.

33 G od is my strong fortress. He makes my way perfect.

اللهُ حِصْنِيَ المَنِيْعُ. يُساعِدُ الأنقياءَ ليسلُكوا الدرب الصحيح،

34 H e makes his feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my high places.

يُساعِدُنِي فأعْدوَ سَريعاً كَالغَزالِ! يُبْقيني فوقَ المشارِفِ.

35 H e teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of brass.

يُدَرِّبني لِشَنِّ الحَرْبِ، فتُطلِقَ ذِراعَيَّ سهاماً قَويَّةً.

36 Y ou have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your gentleness has made me great.

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

37 Y ou have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.

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

38 I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them. I didn’t turn again until they were consumed.

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

39 I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they can’t arise. Yes, they have fallen under my feet.

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

40 F or you have armed me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

«شَدَّدْتَنِي في المَعْرَكَةِ، وَجَعَلْتَ أعدائي يَنْهارُون أمامِي.

41 Y ou have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

مَنَحْتَنِي الفُرْصَةَ لأنالَ مِنْ عَدُوّي، وَأهزِمَ الذِي يَكْرَهُنِي.

42 T hey looked, but there was no one to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t 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 small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.

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

44 Y ou also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.

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

45 T he foreigners will submit themselves to me. As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me.

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

46 T he foreigners will fade away, and will come trembling out of their close places.

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

47 Y ahweh lives! Blessed be my rock! Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,

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

48 e ven the God who executes vengeance for me, who brings down peoples under me,

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

49 w ho brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.

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

50 T herefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.

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

51 H e gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.”

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