المَزامِير 68

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ لِدَاوُدَ. مَزْمُورٌ. تَسْبِيحَةٌ يَقُومُ اللهُ فَيَتَبَدَّدُ أَعْدَاؤُهُ وَيَفِرُّ مُبْغِضُوهُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ.

For the chief musician; A psalm of David, a song. Let God arise; let his enemies be scattered; let those also who hate him flee before him.

٢ 2 كَمَا يَتَلاشَى الدُّخَانُ تُلاشِيهِمْ، وَكَمَا يَذُوبُ الشَّمْعُ قُرْبَ النَّارِ يَهْلِكُ الأَشْرَارُ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ.

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish in the presence of God.

٣ 3 أَمَّا الأَبْرَارُ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَفْرَحُونَ وَيَبْتَهِجُونَ أَمَامَ اللهِ وَيَغْتَبِطُونَ سُرُوراً.

But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God; may they rejoice and be happy.

٤ 4 رَنِّمُوا للهِ، اشْدُوا لاسْمِهِ. مَهِّدُوا طَرِيقاً لِلرَّاكِبِ فِي الْقِفَارِ ظَافِراً. إِنَّ اسْمَهُ «الْكَائِنُ». وَتَهَلَّلُوا فِي مَحْضَرِهِ.

Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Praise the one who rides through the plains of the Jordan River valley! Yahweh is his name! Rejoice before him!

٥ 5 اللهُ الْمُقِيمُ فِي مَسْكَنِهِ الْمُقَدَّسِ هُوَ أَبُو الْيَتَامَى وَقَاضِي الأَرَامِلِ.

A father of the fatherless, a judge of the widows, is God in the holy place where he lives.

٦ 6 يُسْكِنُ اللهُ الْمُتَوَحِّدِينَ بَيْتاً، وَيُطْلِقُ الْمُقَيَّدِينَ إِلَى النَّجَاحِ، أَمَّا الْمُتَمَرِّدُونَ فَيَسْكُنُونَ أَرْضاً مُحْرِقَةً.

God puts the lonely into families; he brings out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a parched land.

٧ 7 يَا اللهُ، عِنْدَمَا خَرَجْتَ أَمَامَ شَعْبِكَ، وَقُدْتَهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ،

God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, (Selah)

٨ 8 رَجَفَتِ الأَرْضُ، وَهَطَلَتِ السَّمَاءُ مَطَراً، وارْتَعَدَ جَبَلُ سِينَاءَ مِنْ حَضْرَةِ اللهِ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

The earth trembled; the heavens also dropped rain in God's presence, in the presence of God when he came to Sinai, in the presence of God, the God of Israel.

٩ 9 مَطَراً غَزِيراً سَكَبْتَ يَا اللهُ عَلَى شَعْبِكَ مِيرَاثِكَ، وَعِنْدَ إِعْيَائِهِ أَنْتَ شَدَّدْتَهُ.

You, God, sent a plentiful rain; you strengthened your inheritance when it was weary.

١٠ 10 هُنَاكَ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ حَلَّ قَطِيعُكَ، وَأَنْتَ بِجُودِكَ وَفَّرْتَ خَيْراً لِلْمَسَاكِينِ، يَا اللهُ.

Your people lived in it; You, God, gave from your goodness to the poor.

١١ 11 يُصْدِرُ السَّيِّدُ أَمْرَهُ فَيَنْهَزِمُ الْعَدُوُّ فَيَحْمِلُ جَمْعٌ غَفِيرٌ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ بُشْرَى النَّصْرِ.

The Lord gave the orders, and those who announced them were a great army.

١٢ 12 يَهْرُبُ مُلُوكُ الْجُيُوشِ، نَعَمْ يَهْرُبُونَ. أَمَّا النِّسَاءُ المُلازِمَاتُ الْبُيُوتَ فَيَقْتَسِمْنَ الْغَنَائِمَ.

Kings of armies flee, they flee, and the women waiting at home divide the plunder:

١٣ 13 مَعَ أَنَّكُمْ رَقَدْتُمْ بَيْنَ الْحَظَائِرِ تَكُونُونَ كَحَمَامَةٍ أَجْنِحَتُهَا مُغَشَّاةٌ بِالْفِضَّةِ، وَرِيشُهَا بِالذَّهَبِ الأَصْفَرِ.

doves covered with silver with wings of yellow gold. When some of you people stayed among the sheepfolds, why did you do this?

١٤ 14 عِنْدَمَا بَدَّدَ الْقَدِيرُ مُلُوكاً فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، ابْيَضَّتِ الأَرْضُ كَالثَّلْجِ فِي جَبَلِ صَلْمُونَ.

The Almighty scattered kings there, it was as when it snowed on Mount Zalmon.

١٥ 15 جَبَلُ بَاشَانَ هُوَ جَبَلُ اللهِ؛ جَبَلٌ كَثِيرُ الْقِمَمِ.

A mighty mountain is the hill country of Bashan; a high mountain is the hill country of Bashan.

١٦ 16 أَيَّتُهَا الْجِبَالُ الْكَثِيرَةُ الْقِمَمِ لِمَاذَا تَتَفَرَّسْنَ بِحَسَدٍ فِي الْجَبَلِ الَّذِي اشْتَهَاهُ اللهُ لِسُكْنَاهُ؟ إِنَّ اللهَ سَيَسْكُنُ فِيهِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

Why do you look in envy, you high hill country, at the mountain which God desires for the place he will live? Indeed, Yahweh will live in it forever.

١٧ 17 مَرْكَبَاتُ الرَّبِّ كَثِيرَةٌ لَا تُحْصَى والرَّبُّ فِي وَسَطِهَا، فَصَارَ جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ مُمَاثِلاً لِجَبَلِ سِينَاءَ فِي القَدَاسَةِ.

The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them in the holy place, as at Sinai.

١٨ 18 يَصْعَدُ إِلَى الْعُلَى وَيَأْخُذُ مَعَهُ سَبَايَا كَثِيرِينَ؛ يُوَزِّعُ الْغَنَائِمَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَحَتَّى عَلَى الَّذِينَ تَمَرَّدُوا قَبْلاً عَلَى مَقَرِّ سُكْنَاكَ، أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ.

You have ascended on high; you have led away captives; you have received gifts from among men, even from those who fought against you, so that you, Yahweh God, might live there.

١٩ 19 تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي يَحْمِلُ أَثْقَالَنَا يَوْماً فَيَوْماً. إِنَّهُ إِلَهُ خَلاصِنَا.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens, the God who is our salvation. (Selah)

٢٠ 20 إِلَهُنَا هُوَ إلَهُ الْخَلاصِ، وَعِنْدَ الرَّبِّ السَّيِّدِ مَنَافِذُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ.

Our God is a God who saves; Yahweh the Lord is the one who is able to rescue us from death.

٢١ 21 حَقّاً سَيَضْرِبُ الرَّبُّ رُؤُوسَ أَعْدَائِهِ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْهَامَةَ الْمَكْسُوَّةَ شَعْراً لِمَنْ يُمْعِنُ فِي طَرِيقِ الْمَعَاصِي.

But God will strike through the heads of his enemies, through the hairy scalps of those who walk in offenses against him.

٢٢ 22 يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ: «سَأُرْجِعُ أَعْدَاءَكُمْ مِنْ بَاشَانَ، سَأُرْجِعُهُمْ مِنْ أَعْمَاقِ الْبَحْرِ،

The Lord said, “I will bring my enemies back from Bashan; I will bring them back from the depths of the sea

٢٣ 23 فَتَغْمِسُونَ أَرْجُلَكُمْ فِي دَمِهِمْ، وَتَأْخُذُ أَلْسِنَةُ الْكِلابِ نَصِيبَهَا مِنَ الأَعْدَاءِ».

so that you may crush your enemies, dipping your foot in blood, and so that the tongues of your dogs may have their share from your enemies.”

٢٤ 24 لَقَدْ عَايَنَ الشَّعْبُ مَوْكِبَكَ يَا اللهُ، مَوْكِبَ إِلَهِي وَمَلِكِي الْمُتَّجِهَ إِلَى الْمَقْدِسِ.

They have seen your processions, God, the processions of my God, my King, into the holy place.

٢٥ 25 سَارَ الْمُغَنُّونَ فِي الطَّلِيعَةِ، وَضَارِبُو الأَوْتَارِ خَلْفَهُمْ، وَفِي الْوَسَطِ صَبَايَا يَضْرِبْنَ عَلَى الدُّفُوفِ.

The singers went first, the minstrels followed after, and in the middle were the unmarried girls playing tambourines.

٢٦ 26 بَارِكُوا اللهَ السَّيِّدَ فِي الْمَحَافِلِ يَا نَسْلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Bless God in the assemblies; praise Yahweh, you who are from the fountain of Israel.

٢٧ 27 هُنَاكَ فِي طَلِيعَتِهِمْ بِنْيَامِينُ الصَّغِيرُ وَعَلَى أَثَرِهِ رُؤَسَاءُ يَهُوذَا فِي جَمَاعَتِهِمْ، ثُمَّ رُؤَسَاءُ زَبُولُونَ وَرُؤَسَاءُ نَفْتَالِي.

There is first Benjamin, the smallest tribe, then the leaders of Judah and their multitudes, the leaders of Zebulun and the leaders of Naphtali.

٢٨ 28 قَدْ أَعَزَّكَ اللهُ، فَأَظْهِرْ يَا اللهُ قُوَّتَكَ بِمَا صَنَعْتَ لَنَا مِنْ مُعْجِزَاتٍ.

Your God, Israel, has decreed your strength; reveal to us your power, God, as you have revealed it in times past.

٢٩ 29 يُقَدِّمُ الْمُلُوكُ لَكَ الْهَدَايَا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ لأَنَّ هَيْكَلَكَ فِيهَا

Reveal your power to us from your temple at Jerusalem, where kings bring gifts to you.

٣٠ 30 انْتَهِرْ مِصْرَ، الْوَحْشَ الكَامِنَ بَيْنَ الْقَصَبِ. انْتَهِرِ الأُمَمَ الْقَوِيَّةَ الَّتِي تُشْبِهُ قَطِيعَ الثِّيرَانِ؛ حَتَّى يَخْضَعُوا وَيَدْفَعُوا لَكَ جِزْيَةَ فِضَّةٍ. بَدِّدِ الشُّعُوبَ الْمُوْلَعَةَ بِالحَرْبِ.

Shout in battle against the wild beasts in the reeds, against the peoples, that multitude of bulls and calves. Humiliate them and make them bring you gifts; scatter the peoples who love to wage war.

٣١ 31 يَفِدُ إِلَيْكَ شُرَفَاءُ مِنْ مِصْرَ وَتَبْسُطُ الْحَبَشَةُ يَدَيْهَا مُسْرِعَةً إِعْرَاباً عَنْ خُضُوعِهَا للهِ.

Princes will come out of Egypt; Cush will hurry to reach out with her hands to God.

٣٢ 32 يَا مَمَالِكَ الأَرْضِ غَنُّوا للهِ. رَنِّمُوا لِلسَّيِّدِ،

Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth; (Selah) Sing praises to Yahweh.

٣٣ 33 لِلرَّاكِبِ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ، السَّمَاوَاتِ القَدِيمَةِ، مُنْتَصِراً. هَا هُوَ يُدَوِّي بِصَوْتِهِ عَالِياً، صَوْتِ الْقُدْرَةِ.

To him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which exist from ancient times; see, he lifts up his voice with power.

٣٤ 34 أَعْطُوا مَجْداً للهِ، فَهُوَ بَسَطَ جَلالَهُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَقُوَّتَهُ فِي الْغَمَامِ.

Ascribe strength to God; his majesty is over Israel, and his strength is in the skies.

٣٥ 35 أَنْتَ مُرْهِبٌ يَا اللهُ مِنْ مَقَادِسِكَ. إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَفْسُهُ هُوَ الَّذِي يَمُدُّ شَعْبَهُ قُوَّةً وَشِدَّةً. تَبَارَكَ اللهُ.

God, you are fearsome in your holy place; the God of Israel—he gives strength and power to his people. Blessed be God.
