Psalms 40

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.

1 انْتَظَرْتُ الرَّبَّ صَابِراً، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ وَسَمِعَ صُرَاخَ اسْتِغَاثَتِي،

2 He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.

2 وَانْتَشَلَنِي مِنْ هُوَّةِ الْهَلاكِ، مِنْ طِينِ الْمُسْتَنْقَعِ. وَأَوْقَفَ قَدَمَيَّ عَلَى أَرْضٍ صَخْرِيَّةٍ، فَصِرْتُ أَمْشِي بِخُطُوَاتٍ ثَابِتَةٍ.

3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

3 وَضَعَ فِي فَمِي تَرْنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً، قَصِيدَةَ تَسْبِيحٍ لإِلَهِنَا. يَرَى ذَلِكَ كَثِيرُونَ فَيَخَافُونَ الرَّبَّ.

4 Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.

4 طُوبَى لِرَجُلٍ وَضَعَ فِي الرَّبِّ ثِقَتَهُ، وَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ وَالْمُنْحَرِفِينَ إِلَى الْكَذِبِ.

5 Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us—none can compare to You—if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.

5 أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، مَا أَكْثَرَ أَعْمَالَكَ الْعَجِيبَةَ! إِنْ تَحَدَّثْتُ عَنْ خُطَطِكَ الرَّائِعَةِ لَنَا فَلَنْ أَقْدِرَ أَنْ أُحْصِيَهَا. زَادَتْ عَنْ أَنْ تُعَدَّ.

6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.

6 لَمْ تُرِدْ أَوْ تَطْلُبْ ذَبَائِحَ وَمُحْرَقَاتٍ عَنِ الْخَطِيئَةِ، لَكِنَّكَ وَهَبْتَنِي أُذُنَيْنِ مُصْغِيَتَيْنِ مُطِيعَتَيْنِ.

7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—it is written about me in the scroll:

7 عِنْدَئِذٍ قُلْتُ: «هَا أَنَا أَجِيءُ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ عَنِّي فِي دَرْجِ الْكِتَابِ:

8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”

8 إِنَّ مَسَرَّتِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ مَشِيئَتَكَ الصَّالِحَةَ يَا إِلَهِي، وَشَرِيعَتُكَ فِي صَمِيمِ قَلْبِي.

9 I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.

9 أَعْلَنْتُ بِرَّكَ وَسَطَ جَمَاعَةِ شَعْبِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، وَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّنِي لَمْ أُلْجِمْ شَفَتَيَّ.

10 I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

10 لَمْ أُخْفِ بِرَّكَ دَاخِلَ قَلْبِي، بَلْ أَعْلَنْتُ أَمَانَتَكَ وَخَلاصَكَ. لَمْ أَكْتُمْ رَحْمَتَكَ وَحَقَّكَ عَنْ جَمَاعَةِ شَعْبِكَ الْعَظِيمِ».

11 O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.

11 فَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ لَنْ تَمْنَعَ مَرَاحِمَكَ عَنِّي. تَنْصُرُنِي دَائِماً رَحْمَتُكَ وَحَقُّكَ.

12 For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.

12 إِنَّ شُرُوراً لَا تُحْصَى قَدْ أَحَاطَتْ بِي، وَآثَامِي قَدْ أَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيَّ فَأَعْمَتْنِي لأَنَّهَا أَكْثَرُ مِنْ شَعْرِ رَأْسِي، وَقَلْبِي قَدْ خَذَلَنِي.

13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; hurry, O LORD, to help me.

13 يَا رَبُّ، ارْتَضِ أَنْ تُنَجِّيَنِي. أَسْرِعْ يَا رَبُّ لإِغَاثَتِي.

14 May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

14 لِيَخْزَ وَلْيَخْجَلْ مَعاً الَّذِينَ يَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى قَتْلِي. لِيُدْبِرْ وَلْيَخْزَ الْمَسْرُورُونَ بِأَذِيَّتِي.

15 May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” be appalled at their own shame.

15 لِيَذْهَلْ خِزْياً السَّاخِرُونَ مِنِّي.

16 May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “The LORD be magnified!”

16 وَلْيَفْرَحْ وَيَبْتَهِجْ بِكَ جَمِيعُ طَالِبِيكَ، وَلْيَقُلْ كُلَّ حِينٍ مُحبُّو خَلاصِكَ: «يَتَعَظَّمُ الرَّبُّ».

17 But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

17 أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِسْكِينٌ وَبَائِسٌ. الرَّبُّ يَهْتَمُّ بِي. عَوْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي أَنْتَ. فَلَا تَتَوَانَ يَا إِلَهِي.
