مزمور. نَشيد. لِيَومِ السَّبْت

صالِحٌ الحَمدُ لِلرَّبِّ والعَزْفُ لِٱسمِكَ أَيُّها العَلِيّ

والإِخْبارُ بِرَحمَتِكَ في الصَّباح وبَأمانَتِكَ في اللَّيالي

على عُشارِيِّ الأَوتارِ والعود وعلى تَقاسيمِ الكِنَّارة

لِأَنَّكَ يا رَبُّ بِصُنعِكَ فَرَّحتَني ولِأَعمالِ يَدَيكَ أُهَلِّل

ما أَعظَمَ يا رَبُّ أَعْمالَكَ وما أَعمَقَ أَفكارَكَ!

الغَبِيُّ لا يَعلَمُ هٰذا والجاهِلُ لا يَفهَمُه

إِذا الأَشْرارُ كالعُشْبِ نَبَتوا وجَميعُ فَعَلَةِ الإِثْمِ أَزهَروا فما ذٰلِكَ إِلَّا لِيُستَأصَلوا أَبَدًا

وأَنتَ يا رَبُّ مُتَعالٍ دائمًا أَبَدًا

فها إِنَّ أَعداءَكَ يَبيدون وجَميعَ فَعَلَةِ الإِثْمِ يَتَبَدَّدون

كقُوَّةِ الثَّورِ تُعَزِّزُ قُوَّتي وبِزَيتٍ طريءٍ تُبَلِّلُني

تَنظُرُ عَيني إِلى الَّذينَ يَتَرَصَّدونَني وتَسمَعُ أُذُنايَ الأَشْرارَ القائمينَ علَيَّ

البارُّ كالنَّخلِ يَسْمو ومِثلَ أَرزِ لُبنانَ يَنْمو

مَن في بَيتِ الرَّبِّ يُغرَسون في دِيارِ إِلٰهِنا يَنبُتون

ما زالوا في المَشيبِ يُثمِرون وفي الِٱزدِهارِ والنَّضارَةِ يَظَلُّون

لِيُخبِروا بأَنَّ الرَّبَّ مُسْتَقيم فهو صَخرَتي ولا ظُلْمَ فيه

It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, Most High,

to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.

For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.

How great are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are very deep.

A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:

though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

But you, LORD, are on high forever more.

For behold, your enemies, LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.

My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

They are planted in the LORD’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.

They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

to show that the LORD is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
