Psalms 89

I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

بِمَرَاحِمِ الرَّبِّ أُغَنِّي إِلَى الدَّهْرِ. لِدَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ أُخْبِرُ عَنْ حَقِّكَ بِفَمِي.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

لأَنِّي قُلْتُ: «إِنَّ الرَّحْمَةَ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ تُبْنَى. السَّمَاوَاتُ تُثْبِتُ فِيهَا حَقَّكَ».

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

«قَطَعْتُ عَهْدًا مَعَ مُخْتَارِي، حَلَفْتُ لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي:

Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

إِلَى الدَّهْرِ أُثَبِّتُ نَسْلَكَ، وَأَبْنِي إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ كُرْسِيَّكَ». سِلاَهْ.

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ تَحْمَدُ عَجَائِبَكَ يَا رَبُّ، وَحَقَّكَ أَيْضًا فِي جَمَاعَةِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ.

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

لأَنَّهُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ يُعَادِلُ الرَّبَّ. مَنْ يُشْبِهُ الرَّبَّ بَيْنَ أَبْنَاءِ اللهِ؟

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

إِلهٌ مَهُوبٌ جِدًّا فِي مُؤَامَرَةِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ، وَمَخُوفٌ عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُ.

O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

يَا رَبُّ إِلهَ الْجُنُودِ، مَنْ مِثْلُكَ ؟ قَوِيٌّ، رَبٌّ، وَحَقُّكَ مِنْ حَوْلِكَ.

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

أَنْتَ مُتَسَلِّطٌ عَلَى كِبْرِيَاءِ الْبَحْرِ. عِنْدَ ارْتِفَاعِ لُجَجِهِ أَنْتَ تُسَكِّنُهَا.

Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

أَنْتَ سَحَقْتَ رَهَبَ مِثْلَ الْقَتِيلِ. بِذِرَاعِ قُوَّتِكَ بَدَّدْتَ أَعْدَاءَكَ.

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

لَكَ السَّمَاوَاتُ. لَكَ أَيْضًا الأَرْضُ. الْمَسْكُونَةُ وَمِلْؤُهَا أَنْتَ أَسَّسْتَهُمَا.

The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

الشِّمَالُ وَالْجَنُوبُ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَهُمَا. تَابُورُ وَحَرْمُونُ بِاسْمِكَ يَهْتِفَانِ.

Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

لَكَ ذِرَاعُ الْقُدْرَةِ. قَوِيَّةٌ يَدُكَ. مُرْتَفِعَةٌ يَمِينُكَ.

Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

الْعَدْلُ وَالْحَقُّ قَاعِدَةُ كُرْسِيِّكَ. الرَّحْمَةُ وَالأَمَانَةُ تَتَقَدَّمَانِ أَمَامَ وَجْهِكَ.

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

طُوبَى لِلشَّعْبِ الْعَارِفِينَ الْهُتَافَ. يَا رَبُّ، بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ يَسْلُكُونَ.

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

بِاسْمِكَ يَبْتَهِجُونَ الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، وَبِعَدْلِكَ يَرْتَفِعُونَ.

For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ فَخْرُ قُوَّتِهِمْ، وَبِرِضَاكَ يَنْتَصِبُ قَرْنُنَا.

For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ مِجَنُّنَا، وَقُدُّوسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَلِكُنَا.

Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

حِينَئِذٍ كَلَّمْتَ بِرُؤْيَا تَقِيَّكَ وَقُلْتَ: «جَعَلْتُ عَوْنًا عَلَى قَوِيٍّ. رَفَعْتُ مُخْتَارًا مِنْ بَيْنِ الشَّعْبِ.

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

وَجَدْتُ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي. بِدُهْنِ قُدْسِي مَسَحْتُهُ.

With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

الَّذِي تَثْبُتُ يَدِي مَعَهُ. أَيْضًا ذِرَاعِي تُشَدِّدُهُ.

The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

لاَ يُرْغِمُهُ عَدُوٌّ، وَابْنُ الإِثْمِ لاَ يُذَلِّلُهُ.

And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

وَأَسْحَقُ أَعْدَاءَهُ أَمَامَ وَجْهِهِ، وَأَضْرِبُ مُبْغِضِيهِ.

But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

أَمَّا أَمَانَتِي وَرَحْمَتِي فَمَعَهُ، وَبِاسْمِي يَنْتَصِبُ قَرْنُهُ.

I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

وَأَجْعَلُ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ يَدَهُ، وَعَلَى الأَنْهَارِ يَمِينَهُ.

He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

هُوَ يَدْعُونِي: أَبِي أَنْتَ، إِلهِي وَصَخْرَةُ خَلاَصِي.

Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

أَنَا أَيْضًا أَجْعَلُهُ بِكْرًا، أَعْلَى مِنْ مُلُوكِ الأَرْضِ.

My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

إِلَى الدَّهْرِ أَحْفَظُ لَهُ رَحْمَتِي. وَعَهْدِي يُثَبَّتُ لَهُ.

His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

وَأَجْعَلُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ نَسْلَهُ، وَكُرْسِيَّهُ مِثْلَ أَيَّامِ السَّمَاوَاتِ.

If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

إِنْ تَرَكَ بَنُوهُ شَرِيعَتِي وَلَمْ يَسْلُكُوا بِأَحْكَامِي،

If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

إِنْ نَقَضُوا فَرَائِضِي وَلَمْ يَحْفَظُوا وَصَايَايَ،

Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

أَفْتَقِدُ بِعَصًا مَعْصِيَتَهُمْ، وَبِضَرَبَاتٍ إِثْمَهُمْ.

Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

أَمَّا رَحْمَتِي فَلاَ أَنْزِعُهَا عَنْهُ، وَلاَ أَكْذِبُ مِنْ جِهَةِ أَمَانَتِي.

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

لاَ أَنْقُضُ عَهْدِي، وَلاَ أُغَيِّرُ مَا خَرَجَ مِنْ شَفَتَيَّ.

Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

مَرَّةً حَلَفْتُ بِقُدْسِي، أَنِّي لاَ أَكْذِبُ لِدَاوُدَ:

His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

نَسْلُهُ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ يَكُونُ، وَكُرْسِيُّهُ كَالشَّمْسِ أَمَامِي.

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

مِثْلَ الْقَمَرِ يُثَبَّتُ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ. وَالشَّاهِدُ فِي السَّمَاءِ أَمِينٌ». سِلاَهْ.

But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

لكِنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ وَرَذَلْتَ غَضِبْتَ عَلَى مَسِيحِكَ.

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

نَقَضْتَ عَهْدَ عَبْدِكَ نَجَّسْتَ تَاجَهُ فِي التُّرَابِ.

Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

هَدَمْتَ كُلَّ جُدْرَانِهِ جَعَلْتَ حُصُونَهُ خَرَابًا.

All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

أَفْسَدَهُ كُلُّ عَابِرِي الطَّرِيقِ صَارَ عَارًا عِنْدَ جِيرَانِهِ.

Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

رَفَعْتَ يَمِينَ مُضَايِقِيهِ، فَرَّحْتَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِهِ.

Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

أَيْضًا رَدَدْتَ حَدَّ سَيْفِهِ، وَلَمْ تَنْصُرْهُ فِي الْقِتَالِ.

Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

أَبْطَلْتَ بَهَاءَهُ، وَأَلْقَيْتَ كُرْسِيَّهُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ.

The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

قَصَّرْتَ أَيَّامَ شَبَابِهِ غَطَّيْتَهُ بِالْخِزْيِ. سِلاَهْ.

How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

حَتَّى مَتَى يَا رَبُّ تَخْتَبِئُ كُلَّ الاخْتِبَاءِ؟ حَتَّى مَتَى يَتَّقِدُ كَالنَّارِ غَضَبُكَ؟

Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

اذْكُرْ كَيْفَ أَنَا زَائِلٌ، إِلَى أَيِّ بَاطِل خَلَقْتَ جَمِيعَ بَنِي آدَمَ!

What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

أَيُّ إِنْسَانٍ يَحْيَا وَلاَ يَرَى الْمَوْتَ؟ أَيٌّ يُنَجِّي نَفْسَهُ مِنْ يَدِ الْهَاوِيَةِ؟ سِلاَهْ.

Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

أَيْنَ مَرَاحِمُكَ الأُوَلُ يَا رَبُّ، الَّتِي حَلَفْتَ بِهَا لِدَاوُدَ بِأَمَانَتِكَ؟

Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

اذْكُرْ يَا رَبُّ عَارَ عَبِيدِكَ الَّذِي أَحْتَمِلُهُ فِي حِضْنِي مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الأُمَمِ كُلِّهَا،

Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

الَّذِي بِهِ عَيَّرَ أَعْدَاؤُكَ يَا رَبُّ، الَّذِينَ عَيَّرُوا آثَارَ مَسِيحِكَ.

Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ. آمِينَ فَآمِينَ.
