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، بَعِيدًا عَنْ خَلَاصِي، عَنْ كَلَامِ زَفِيرِي؟

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

2 إِلَهِي، فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ أَدْعُو فَلَا تَسْتَجِيبُ، فِي ٱللَّيْلِ أَدْعُو فَلَا هُدُوَّ لِي.

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

3 وَأَنْتَ ٱلْقُدُّوسُ ٱلْجَالِسُ بَيْنَ تَسْبِيحَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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

4 عَلَيْكَ ٱتَّكَلَ آبَاؤُنَا. ٱتَّكَلُوا فَنَجَّيْتَهُمْ.

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

5 إِلَيْكَ صَرَخُوا فَنَجَوْا. عَلَيْكَ ٱتَّكَلُوا 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 عِنْدَ ٱلْبَشَرِ وَمُحْتَقَرُ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

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

7 كُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَنِي يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ بِي. يَفْغَرُونَ ٱلشِّفَاهَ، وَيُنْغِضُونَ ٱلرَّأْسَ قَائِلِينَ:

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

8 «ٱتَّكَلَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَلْيُنَجِّهِ، لِيُنْقِذْهُ لِأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِهِ».

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

9 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ جَذَبْتَنِي مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ. جَعَلْتَنِي مُطْمَئِنًّا عَلَى ثَدْيَيْ أُمِّي.

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

10 عَلَيْكَ أُلْقِيتُ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ. مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّي أَنْتَ إِلَهِي.

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

11 لَا تَتَبَاعَدْ عَنِّي، لِأَنَّ ٱلضِّيقَ قَرِيبٌ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا مُعِينَ.

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

12 أَحَاطَتْ بِي ثِيرَانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ. أَقْوِيَاءُ بَاشَانَ ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي.

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

13 فَغَرُوا عَلَيَّ أَفْوَاهَهُمْ كَأَسَدٍ مُفْتَرِسٍ مُزَمْجِرٍ.

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

14 كَٱلْمَاءِ ٱنْسَكَبْتُ. ٱنْفَصَلَتْ كُلُّ عِظَامِي. صَارَ قَلْبِي كَٱلشَّمْعِ. قَدْ ذَابَ فِي وَسَطِ أَمْعَائِي.

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 يَبِسَتْ مِثْلَ شَقْفَةٍ قُوَّتِي، وَلَصِقَ لِسَانِي بِحَنَكِي، وَإِلَى تُرَابِ ٱلْمَوْتِ تَضَعُنِي.

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

16 لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ أَحَاطَتْ بِي كِلَابٌ. جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي. ثَقَبُوا يَدَيَّ وَرِجْلَيَّ.

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

17 أُحْصِي كُلَّ عِظَامِي، وَهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ وَيَتَفَرَّسُونَ فِيَّ.

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

18 يَقْسِمُونَ ثِيَابِي بَيْنَهُمْ، وَعَلَى لِبَاسِي يَقْتَرِعُونَ.

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

19 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ، فَلَا تَبْعُدْ. يَا قُوَّتِي، أَسْرِعْ إِلَى نُصْرَتِي.

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

20 أَنْقِذْ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ نَفْسِي. مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْكَلْبِ وَحِيدَتِي.

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

21 خَلِّصْنِي مِنْ فَمِ ٱلْأَسَدِ، وَمِنْ قُرُونِ بَقَرِ ٱلْوَحْشِ ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي.

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

22 أُخْبِرْ بِٱسْمِكَ إِخْوَتِي. فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ أُسَبِّحُكَ.

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

23 يَا خَائِفِي ٱلرَّبِّ سَبِّحُوهُ! مَجِّدُوهُ يَا مَعْشَرَ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَٱخْشَوْهُ يَا زَرْعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ جَمِيعًا!

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 لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَحْتَقِرْ وَلَمْ يُرْذِلْ مَسْكَنَةَ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ، وَلَمْ يَحْجُبْ وَجْهَهُ عَنْهُ، بَلْ عِنْدَ صُرَاخِهِ إِلَيْهِ ٱسْتَمَعَ.

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

25 مِنْ قِبَلِكَ تَسْبِيحِي فِي ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ. أُوفِي بِنُذُورِي قُدَّامَ خَائِفِيهِ.

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

26 يَأْكُلُ ٱلْوُدَعَاءُ وَيَشْبَعُونَ. يُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّبَّ طَالِبُوهُ. تَحْيَا قُلُوبُكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

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 تَذْكُرُ وَتَرْجِعُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ كُلُّ أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَتَسْجُدُ قُدَّامَكَ كُلُّ قَبَائِلِ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

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

28 لِأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْمُلْكَ، وَهُوَ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطُ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ.

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 أَكَلَ وَسَجَدَ كُلُّ سَمِينِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. قُدَّامَهُ يَجْثُو كُلُّ مَنْ يَنْحَدِرُ إِلَى ٱلتُّرَابِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُحْيِ نَفْسَهُ.

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

30 ٱلذُّرِّيَّةُ تَتَعَبَّدُ لَهُ. يُخَبَّرُ عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْجِيلُ ٱلْآتِي.

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

31 يَأْتُونَ وَيُخْبِرُونَ بِبِرهِ شَعْبًا سَيُولَدُ بِأَنَّهُ قَدْ فَعَلَ.
