Psalms 44

1 For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old.

1 يَا اللهُ، بِآذَانِنَا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا، وَآبَاؤُنَا أَخْبَرُونَا بِمَا عَمِلْتَهُ فِي أَيَّامِهِمِ الْقَدِيمَةِ.

2 With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.

2 بِيَدِكَ اقْتَلَعْتَ الأُمَمَ، وَغَرَسْتَ آبَاءَنَا. حَطَّمْتَ الشُّعُوبَ وَأَنْمَيْتَهُمْ.

3 For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.

3 لَمْ يَمْتَلِكُوا الأَرْضَ بِسَيْفِهِمْ وَلَا بِذِرَاعِهِمْ خَلُصُوا، وَلَكِنْ بِفَضْلِ يُمْنَاكَ وَذِرَاعِكَ وَنُورِ وَجْهِكَ، لأَنَّكَ رَضِيتَ عَنْهُمْ.

4 You are my King, O God, who ordains victories for Jacob.

4 أَنْتَ هُوَ مَلِكِي يَا اللهُ، فَمُرْ بِخَلاصِ شَعْبِكَ.

5 Through You we repel our foes; through Your name we trample our enemies.

5 بِعَوْنِكَ نَطْرَحُ خُصُومَنَا أَرْضاً، وَبِاسْمِكَ نَدُوسُ الْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيْنَا.

6 For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me.

6 فَإِنِّي لَنْ أَتَّكِلَ عَلَى قَوْسِي وَلَنْ يُخَلِّصَنِي سَيْفِي.

7 For You save us from our enemies; You put those who hate us to shame.

7 فَأَنْتَ أَنْقَذْتَنَا مِنْ مُضَايِقِينَا وَأَلْحَقْتَ الْعَارَ بِمُبْغِضِينَا.

8 In God we have boasted all day long, and Your name we will praise forever. Selah

8 بِاللهِ نَفْتَخِرُ الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، وَنَحْمَدُ اسْمَكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

9 But You have rejected and humbled us; You no longer go forth with our armies.

9 غَيْرَ أَنَّكَ قَدْ رَذَلْتَنَا وَأَخْجَلْتَنَا، وَلَمْ تَعُدْ تُرَافِقُ جُنُودَنَا إِلَى الْحَرْبِ.

10 You have made us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have plundered us.

10 جَعَلْتَنَا نَتَقَهْقَرُ أَمَامَ عَدُوِّنَا. أَمَّا مُبْغِضُونَا فَيَغْنَمُونَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ.

11 You have given us up as sheep to be devoured; You have scattered us among the nations.

11 أَسْلَمْتَنَا كَغَنَمٍ مُعَدَّةٍ لِلذَّبْحِ، وَبَدَّدْتَنَا بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ.

12 You sell Your people for nothing; no profit do You gain from their sale.

12 بِعْتَ شَعْبَكَ بِلَا مَالٍ وَبِثَمَنِهِمْ لَمْ تَرْبَحْ.

13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.

13 تَجْعَلُنَا عَاراً عِنْدَ جِيرَانِنَا، وَمَثَارَ هُزْءٍ وَسُخْرِيَةٍ لِمَنْ حَوْلَنَا.

14 You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.

14 تَجْعَلُنَا مَثَلاً بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأُضْحُوكَةً بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ.

15 All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,

15 الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ خَجَلِي مَاثِلٌ أَمَامِي، وَخِزْيُ وَجْهِي قَدْ غَمَرَنِي

16 at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge.

16 مِنْ صَوْتِ الْمُعَيِّرِ وَالْمُجَدِّفِ وَمَرْأَى الْعَدُوِّ الْمُنْتَقِمِ.

17 All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant.

17 هَذَا كُلُّهُ وَقَعَ عَلَيْنَا، فَمَا نَسِينَاكَ وَلَا خُنَّا عَهْدَكَ.

18 Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.

18 لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ قَلْبُنَا إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ، وَلَا حَادَتْ خُطْوَاتُنَا عَنْ طَرِيقِكَ.

19 But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.

19 مَعَ أَنَّكَ سَحَقْتَنَا وَسَطَ الْوُحُوشِ، وَغَمَرْتَنَا بِظِلالِ الْمَوْتِ.

20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,

20 إِنْ كُنَّا قَدْ نَسِينَا اسْمَ إِلَهِنَا، وَصَلَّيْنَا إِلَى إِلَهٍ غَرِيبٍ،

21 would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?

21 أَلَا يَعْرِفُ اللهُ ذَلِكَ وَهُوَ عَلّامُ الغُيُوبِ؟

22 Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

22 أَلَا أَنَّنَا مِنْ أَجْلِكَ نُعَانِي الْمَوْتَ طُولَ النَّهَارِ، وَقَدْ حُسِبْنَا مِثْلَ غَنَمٍ مُعَدَّةٍ لِلذَّبْحِ.

23 Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever.

23 قُمْ يَا رَبُّ. لِمَاذَا تَتَغَافَى؟ انْتَبِهْ وَلَا تَنْبِذْنَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

24 Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression?

24 لِمَاذَا تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ وَتَنْسَى مَذَلَّتَنَا وَضِيقَنَا؟

25 For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.

25 إِنَّ نُفُوسَنَا قَدِ انْحَنَتْ إِلَى التُّرَابِ، وَبُطُونَنَا لَصِقَتْ بِالأَرْضِ.

26 Rise up; be our help! Redeem us on account of Your loving devotion.

26 هُبَّ لِنَجْدَتِنَا وَافْدِنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ رَحْمَتِكَ.
