| 1 يَا إِلهَ النَّقَمَاتِ يَا رَبُّ، يَا إِلهَ النَّقَمَاتِ، أَشْرِقِ. | 1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. |
|
| 2 ارْتَفِعْ يَا دَيَّانَ الأَرْضِ. جَازِ صَنِيعَ الْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ. | 2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. |
|
| 3 حَتَّى مَتَى الْخُطَاةُ يَا رَبُّ، حَتَّى مَتَى الْخُطَاةُ يَشْمَتُونَ؟ | 3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? |
|
| 4 يُبِقُّونَ، يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِوَقَاحَةٍ. كُلُّ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ يَفْتَخِرُونَ. | 4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? |
|
| 5 يَسْحَقُونَ شَعْبَكَ يَارَبُّ، وَيُذِلُّونَ مِيرَاثَكَ. | 5 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. |
|
| 6 يَقْتُلُونَ الأَرْمَلَةَ وَالْغَرِيبَ، وَيُمِيتُونَ الْيَتِيمَ. | 6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. |
|
| 7 وَيَقُولُونَ: «الرَّبُّ لاَ يُبْصِرُ، وَإِلهُ يَعْقُوبَ لاَ يُلاَحِظُ». | 7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. |
|
| 8 اِفْهَمُوا أَيُّهَا الْبُلَدَاءُ فِي الشَّعْبِ، وَيَا جُهَلاَءُ مَتَى تَعْقِلُونَ؟ | 8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? |
|
| 9 الْغَارِسُ الأُذُنَِ أَلاَ يَسْمَعُ؟ الصَّانِعُ الْعَيْنَ أَلاَ يُبْصِرُ؟ | 9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? |
|
| 10 الْمُؤَدِّبُ الأُمَمَ أَلاَ يُبَكِّتُ؟ الْمُعَلِّمُ الإِنْسَانَ مَعْرِفَةً. | 10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? |
|
| 11 الرَّبُّ يَعْرِفُ أَفْكَارَ الإِنْسَانِ أَنَّهَا بَاطِلَةٌ. | 11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. |
|
| 12 طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي تُؤَدِّبُهُ يَا رَبُّ، وَتُعَلِّمُهُ مِنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ | 12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; |
|
| 13 لِتُرِيحَهُ مِنْ أَيَّامِ الشَّرِّ، حَتَّى تُحْفَرَ لِلشِّرِّيرِ حُفْرَةٌ. | 13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. |
|
| 14 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ لاَ يَرْفُضُ شَعْبَهُ، وَلاَ يَتْرُكُ مِيرَاثَهُ. | 14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. |
|
| 15 لأَنَّهُ إِلَى الْعَدْلِ يَرْجعُ الْقَضَاءُ، وَعَلَى أَثَرِهِ كُلُّ مُسْتَقِيمِي الْقُلُوبِ. | 15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. |
|
| 16 مَنْ يَقُومُ لِي عَلَى الْمُسِيئِينَ؟ مَنْ يَقِفُ لِي ضِدَّ فَعَلَةِ الإِثْمِ؟ | 16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? |
|
| 17 لَوْلاَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ مُعِينِي، لَسَكَنَتْ نَفْسِي سَرِيعًا أَرْضَ السُّكُوتِ. | 17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. |
|
| 18 إِذْ قُلْتُ: «قَدْ زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي» فَرَحْمَتُكَ يَا رَبُّ تَعْضُدُنِي. | 18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. |
|
| 19 عِنْدَ كَثْرَةِ هُمُومِي فِي دَاخِلِي، تَعْزِيَاتُكَ تُلَذِّذُ نَفْسِي. | 19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. |
|
| 20 هَلْ يُعَاهِدُكَ كُرْسِيُّ الْمَفَاسِدِ، الْمُخْتَلِقُ إِثْمًا عَلَى فَرِيضَةٍ؟ | 20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? |
|
| 21 يَزْدَحِمُونَ عَلَى نَفْسِ الصِّدِّيقِ، وَيَحْكُمُونَ عَلَى دَمٍ زَكِيٍّ. | 21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. |
|
| 22 فَكَانَ الرَّبُّ لِي صَرْحًا، وَإِلهِي صَخْرَةَ مَلْجَإِي. | 22 But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. |
|
| 23 وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِثْمَهُمْ، وَبِشَرِّهِمْ يُفْنِيهِمْ. يُفْنِيهِمُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُنَا. | 23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off. |
|
