Psalms 22

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Doe of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving me, so far from my words of groaning?

1 إِلَهِي، إِلَهِي، لِمَاذَا تَرَكْتَنِي؟ لِمَاذَا تَبَاعَدْتَ عَنْ خَلاصِي وَعَنْ سَمَاعِ صَوْتِ تَنَهُّدَاتِي؟

2 I cry out by day, O my God, but You do not answer, and by night, but I have no rest.

2 إِلَهِي، أَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ مُسْتَغِيثاً فِي النَّهَارِ فَلَا تُجِيبُنِي، وَفِي اللَّيْلِ فَلَا رَاحَةَ لِي،

3 Yet You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

3 مَعْ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْقُدُّوسُ الَّذِي أَقَمْتَ عَرْشَكَ فِي وَسَطِ شَعْبِكَ الَّذِي يُسَبِّحُكَ.

4 In You our fathers trusted; they trusted and You delivered them.

4 عَلَيْكَ اتَّكَلَ آبَاؤُنَا، وَبِكَ وَثِقُوا، وَأَنْتَ قَدْ نَجَّيْتَهُمْ.

5 They cried out to You and were set free; they trusted in You and were not disappointed.

5 إِلَيْكَ صَرَخُوا فَنَجَوْا، وَعَلَيْكَ اتَّكَلُوا فَلَمْ يَخْزَوْا.

6 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.

6 أَمَّا أَنَا فَدُودَةٌ لَا إِنْسَانٌ. عَارٌ فِي نَظَرِ الْبَشَرِ، وَمَنْبُوذٌ فِي عَيْنَيْ شَعْبِي.

7 All who see me mock me; they sneer and shake their heads:

7 جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَنِي يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ بِي، يَفْتَحُونَ شِفَاهَهُمْ عَلَيَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ، وَيَهُزُّونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ:

8 “He trusts in the LORD, let the LORD deliver him; let the LORD rescue him, since He delights in him.”

8 «سَلَّمَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ أَمْرَهُ، فَلْيُنْجِدْهُ. لِيُنْقِذْهُ مَادَامَ قَدْ سُرَّ بِهِ».

9 Yet You brought me forth from the womb; You made me secure at my mother’s breast.

9 أَنْتَ أَخْرَجْتَنِي مِنَ الرَّحِمِ. أَنْتَ جَعَلْتَنِي أَنَامُ مُطْمَئِنّاً وَأَنَا مَازِلْتُ عَلَى صَدْرِ أُمِّي.

10 From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God.

10 أَنْتَ مُتَّكَلِي مِنْ قَبْلِ مِيلادِي، فَأَنْتَ إِلَهِي مُنْذُ كُنْتُ جَنِيناً.

11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.

11 لَا تَقِفْ بَعِيداً عَنِّي، لأَنَّ الضِّيقَ قَرِيبٌ وَلَا مُعِينَ لِي.

12 Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.

12 حَاصَرَنِي أَعْدَاءُ أَقْوِيَاءُ، كَأَنَّهُمْ ثِيرَانُ بَاشَانَ الْقَوِيَّةُ.

13 They open their jaws against me like lions that roar and maul.

13 فَغَرُوا عَلَيَّ أَفْوَاهَهُم كَأَنَّهُمْ أُسُودٌ مُفْتَرِسَةٌ مُزَمْجِرَةٌ.

14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed. My heart is like wax; it melts away within me.

14 صَارَتْ قُوَّتِي كَالْمَاءِ، وَانْحَلَّتْ عِظَامِي. صَارَ قَلْبِي كَالشَّمْعِ، وَذَابَ فِي دَاخِلِي.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You lay me in the dust of death.

15 جَفَّتْ نَضَارَتِي كَقِطْعَةِ الْفَخَّارِ، وَالْتَصَقَ لِسَانِي بِحَنَكِي. إِلَى تُرَابِ الأَرْضِ تَضَعُنِي.

16 For dogs surround me; a band of evil men encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet.

16 أَحَاطَ بِي الأَدْنِيَاءُ. جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الأَشْرَارِ طَوَّقَتْنِي. ثَقَبُوا يَدَيَّ وَرِجْلَيَّ.

17 I can count all my bones; they stare and gloat over me.

17 صِرْتُ لِهُزَالِي أُحْصِي عِظَامِي، وَهُمْ يُرَاقِبُونَنِي وَيُحْدِقُونَ فِيَّ.

18 They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.

18 يَتَقَاسَمُونَ ثِيَابِي فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ، وَعَلَى لِبَاسِي يُلْقُونَ قُرْعَةً.

19 But You, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me.

19 يَا رَبُّ، لَا تَتَبَاعَدْ عَنِّي. يَا قُوَّتِي أَسْرِعْ إِلَى نَجْدَتِي.

20 Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of wild dogs.

20 أَنْقِذْ مِنَ السَّيْفِ نَفْسِي، وَمِنْ مَخَالِبِ الأَدْنِيَاءِ حَيَاتِي.

21 Save me from the mouth of the lion; at the horns of the wild oxen You have answered me!

21 خَلِّصْنِي مِنْ فَمِ الأَسَدِ، وَمِنْ بَيْنِ قُرُونِ الثِّيرَانِ الْوَحْشِيَّةِ اسْتَجِبْ لِي.

22 I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; I will praise You in the assembly.

22 أُعْلِنُ اسْمَكَ لإِخْوَتِي، وَأُسَبِّحُكَ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَمَاعَةِ.

23 You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All descendants of Jacob, honor Him! All offspring of Israel, revere Him!

23 سَبِّحُوا الرَّبَّ يَا خَائِفِيهِ. مَجِّدُوهُ يَا جَمِيعَ نَسْلِ يَعْقُوبَ، واخْشَوْهُ يَا جَمِيعَ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

24 For He has not despised or detested the torment of the afflicted. He has not hidden His face from him, but has attended to his cry for help.

24 فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَحْتَقِرْ بُؤْسَ الْمِسْكِينِ، وَلَا حَجَبَ عَنْهُ وَجْهَهُ، بَلِ اسْتَجَابَ لَهُ عِنْدَمَا صَرَخَ إِلَيْهِ.

25 My praise for You resounds in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear You.

25 أَنْتَ تُلْهِمُنِي تَسْبِيحَكَ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَمَاعَةِ الْعَظِيمَةِ، فَأُوْفِي بِنُذُورِي أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ خَائِفِيهِ.

26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise Him. May your hearts live forever!

26 يَأْكُلُ الْوُدَعَاءُ وَيَشْبَعُونَ، وَطَالِبُو الرَّبِّ يُسَبِّحُونَهُ. تَحْيَا قُلُوبُكُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD. All the families of the nations will bow down before Him.

27 تَتَذَكَّرُ جَمِيعُ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ وَتَرْجِعُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ، وَتَتَعَبَّدُ أَمَامَكَ جَمِيعُ قَبَائِلِ الأُمَمِ.

28 For dominion belongs to the LORD and He rules over the nations.

28 لأَنَّ الْمُلْكَ لِلرَّبِّ، وَهُوَ يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى الأُمَمِ.

29 All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him—even those unable to preserve their lives.

29 جَمِيعُ عُظَمَاءِ الأَرْضِ يَحْتَفِلُونَ وَيَسْجُدُونَ. يَنْحَنِي أَمَامَهُ الْهَابِطُونَ إِلَى التُّرَابِ وَالْفَانُونَ،

30 Posterity will serve Him; they will declare the Lord to a new generation.

30 يَتَعَبَّدُ نَسْلُهُمْ لِلهِ، وَيَتَحَدَّثُونَ عَنِ الرَّبِّ لِلْجِيلِ الآتِي.

31 They will come and proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn—all that He has done.

31 يَأْتُونَ وَيُخْبِرُونَ بِبِرِّهِ وَبِمُعْجِزَاتِهِ شَعْباً لَمْ يُولَدْ بَعْدُ.
