II Samuel 22

وَكَلَّمَ دَاوُدُ الرَّبَّ بِكَلاَمِ هذَا النَّشِيدِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ فِيهِ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَيْدِي كُلِّ أَعْدَائِهِ وَمِنْ يَدِ شَاوُلَ،

And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

فَقَالَ: «اَلرَّبُّ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي،

And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

إِلهُ صَخْرَتِي بِهِ أَحْتَمِي. تُرْسِي وَقَرْنُ خَلاَصِي. مَلْجَإِي وَمَنَاصِي. مُخَلِّصِي، مِنَ الظُّلْمِ تُخَلِّصُنِي.

The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.

أَدْعُو الرَّبَّ الْحَمِيدَ فَأَتَخَلَّصُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي.

I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

لأَنَّ أَمْوَاجَ الْمَوْتِ اكْتَنَفَتْنِي. سُيُولُ الْهَلاَكِ أَفْزَعَتْنِي.

When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;

حِبَالُ الْهَاوِيَةِ أَحَاطَتْ بِي. شُرُكُ الْمَوْتِ أَصَابَتْنِي.

The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;

فِي ضِيقِي دَعَوْتُ الرَّبَّ، وَإِلَى إِلهِي صَرَخْتُ، فَسَمِعَ مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ صَوْتِي، وَصُرَاخِي دَخَلَ أُذُنَيْهِ.

In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

فَارْتَجَّتِ الأَرْضُ وَارْتَعَشَتْ. أُسُسُ السَّمَاوَاتِ ارْتَعَدَتْ وَارْتَجَّتْ، لأَنَّهُ غَضِبَ.

Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.

صَعِدَ دُخَانٌ مِنْ أَنْفِهِ، وَنَارٌ مِنْ فَمِهِ أَكَلَتْ. جَمْرٌ اشْتَعَلَتْ مِنْهُ.

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

طَأْطَأَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، وَضَبَابٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.

رَكِبَ عَلَى كَرُوبٍ، وَطَارَ وَرُئِيَ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ الرِّيحِ.

And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

جَعَلَ الظُّلْمَةَ حَوْلَهُ مِظَلاَّتٍ، مِيَاهًا حَاشِكَةً وَظَلاَمَ الْغَمَامِ.

And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

مِنَ الشُّعَاعِ قُدَّامَهُ اشْتَعَلَتْ جَمْرُ نَارٍ.

Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.

أَرْعَدَ الرَّبُّ مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَالْعَلِيُّ أَعْطَى صَوْتَهُ.

The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.

أَرْسَلَ سِهَامًا فَشَتَّتَهُمْ، بَرْقًا فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ.

And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.

فَظَهَرَتْ أَعْمَاقُ الْبَحْرِ، وَانْكَشَفَتْ أُسُسُ الْمَسْكُونَةِ مِنْ زَجْرِ الرَّبِّ، مِنْ نَسْمَةِ رِيحِ أَنْفِهِ.

And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

أَرْسَلَ مِنَ الْعُلَى فَأَخَذَنِي، نَشَلَنِي مِنْ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ.

He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;

أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ عَدُوِّيَ الْقَوِيِّ، مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ لأَنَّهُمْ أَقْوَى مِنِّي.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

أَصَابُونِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ سَنَدِي.

They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى الرُّحْبِ. خَلَّصَنِي لأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي.

He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

يُكَافِئُنِي الرَّبُّ حَسَبَ بِرِّي. حَسَبَ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ يَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ.

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

لأَنِّي حَفِظْتُ طُرُقَ الرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ أَعْصِ إِلهِي.

For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ أَحْكَامِهِ أَمَامِي، وَفَرَائِضُهُ لاَ أَحِيدُ عَنْهَا.

For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

وَأَكُونُ كَامِلاً لَدَيْهِ، وَأَتَحَفَّظُ مِنْ إِثْمِي.

I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.

فَيَرُدُّ الرَّبُّ عَلَيَّ كَبِرِّي، وَكَطَهَارَتِي أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ.

Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.

«مَعَ الرَّحِيمِ تَكُونُ رَحِيمًا. مَعَ الرَّجُلِ الْكَامِلِ تَكُونُ كَامِلاً.

With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.

مَعَ الطَّاهِرِ تَكُونُ طَاهِرًا، وَمَعَ الأَعْوَجِ تَكُونُ مُلْتَوِيًا.

With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.

وَتُخَلِّصُ الشَّعْبَ الْبَائِسَ، وَعَيْنَاكَ عَلَى الْمُتَرَفِّعِينَ فَتَضَعُهُمْ.

And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ سِرَاجِي يَا رَبُّ، وَالرَّبُّ يُضِيءُ ظُلْمَتِي.

For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.

لأَنِّي بِكَ اقْتَحَمْتُ جَيْشًا. بِإِلهِي تَسَوَّرْتُ أَسْوَارًا.

For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.

اَللهُ طَرِيقُهُ كَامِلٌ، وَقَوْلُ الرَّبِّ نَقِيٌّ. تُرْسٌ هُوَ لِجَمِيعِ الْمُحْتَمِينَ بِهِ.

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

لأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ إِلهٌ غَيْرُ الرَّبِّ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَخْرَةٌ غَيْرُ إِلهِنَا؟

For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?

الإِلهُ الَّذِي يُعَزِّزُنِي بِالْقُوَّةِ، وَيُصَيِّرُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلاً.

God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.

الَّذِي يَجْعَلُ رِجْلَيَّ كَالإِيَّلِ، وَعَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِي يُقِيمُنِي

He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.

الَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ يَدَيَّ الْقِتَالَ، فَتُحْنَى بِذِرَاعَيَّ قَوْسٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ.

He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

وَتَجْعَلُ لِي تُرْسَ خَلاَصِكَ، وَلُطْفُكَ يُعَظِّمُنِي.

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.

تُوَسِّعُ خَطَوَاتِي تَحْتِي، فَلَمْ تَتَقَلْقَلْ كَعْبَايَ.

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.

أَلْحَقُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُهْلِكُهُمْ، وَلاَ أَرْجعُ حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهُمْ.

I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.

أُفْنِيهِمْ وَأَسْحَقُهُمْ فَلاَ يَقُومُونَ، بَلْ يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيَّ.

And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.

«تُنَطِّقُنِي قُوَّةً لِلْقِتَالِ، وَتَصْرَعُ الْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ تَحْتِي.

For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.

وَتُعْطِينِي أَقْفِيَةَ أَعْدَائِي وَمُبْغِضِيَّ فَأُفْنِيهِمْ.

Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.

يَتَطَلَّعُونَ فَلَيْسَ مُخَلِّصٌ، إِلَى الرَّبِّ فَلاَ يَسْتَجِيبُهُمْ.

They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

فَأَسْحَقُهُمْ كَغُبَارِ الأَرْضِ. مِثْلَ طِينِ الأَسْوَاقِ أَدُقُّهُمْ وَأَدُوسُهُمْ.

Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.

وَتُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ مُخَاصَمَاتِ شَعْبِي، وَتَحْفَظُنِي رَأْسًا لِلأُمَمِ. شَعْبٌ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ يَتَعَبَّدُ لِي.

Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.

بَنُو الْغُرَبَاءِ يَتَذَلَّلُونَ لِي. مِنْ سَمَاعِ الأُذُنِ يَسْمَعُونَ لِي.

Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.

بَنُو الْغُرَبَاءِ يَبْلَوْنَ وَيَزْحَفُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ.

Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.

حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، وَمُبَارَكٌ صَخْرَتِي، وَمُرْتَفَعٌ إِلهُ صَخْرَةِ خَلاَصِي.

The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.

الإِلهُ الْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، وَالْمُخْضِعُ شُعُوبًا تَحْتِي،

It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,

وَالَّذِي يُخْرِجُنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ أَعْدَائِي، وَيَرْفَعُنِي فَوْقَ الْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ، وَيُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ رَجُلِ الظُّلْمِ.

And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

لِذلِكَ أَحْمَدُكَ يَا رَبُّ فِي الأُمَمِ، وَلاسْمِكَ أُرَنِّمُ.

Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.

بُرْجُ خَلاَصٍ لِمَلِكِهِ، وَالصَّانِعُ رَحْمَةً لِمَسِيحِهِ، لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ».

He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
