Psalms
1O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so , whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;3And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.4They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.6Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.7And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.8Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!9For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.10Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;11Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:12Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.13Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.15Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!16For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.17Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.18Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.19Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.20He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.21Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!22And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.23They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;24These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.26They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.28Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.29He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.30Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.31Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!32Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.33He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;34A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.35He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;37And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.39Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.40He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.41Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.42The righteous shall see it , and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.43Whoso is wise, and will observe these things , even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

1اِحْمَدُوا الرَّبَّ لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لأَنَّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ:2لِيَقُلْ مَفْدِيُّو الرَّبِّ، الَّذِينَ فَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ الْعَدُوِّ3وَمِنَ الْبُلْدَانِ جَمَعَهُمْ، مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَمِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ، مِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَمِنَ الْبَحْرِ.4تَاهُوا فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، فِي قَفْرٍ بِلاَ طَرِيقٍ، لَمْ يَجِدُوا مَدِينَةَ سَكَنٍ.5جِيَاعٌ، عِطَاشٌ، أَيْضاً أَعْيَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ فِيهِمْ.6فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى الرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ،7وَهَدَاهُمْ طَرِيقاً مُسْتَقِيماً لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةِ سَكَنٍ:8فَلْيَحْمَدُوا الرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ،9لأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ نَفْساً مُشْتَهِيَةً وَمَلأَ نَفْساً جَائِعَةً خُبْزاً.

10اَلجَالِسُونَ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلاَلِ الْمَوْتِ، مُوثَقِينَ بِالذُّلِّ وَالْحَدِيدِ،11لأَنَّهُمْ عَصَوْا كَلاَمَ اللهِ وَأَهَانُوا مَشُورَةَ الْعَلِيِّ، فَأَذَلَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِتَعَبٍ، عَثَرُوا، وَلاَ مَعِينَ.13ثُمَّ صَرَخُوا إِلَى الرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ،14أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنَ الظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلاَلِ الْمَوْتِ، وَقَطَّعَ قُيُودَهُمْ:15فَلْيَحْمَدُوا الرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ،16لأَنَّهُ كَسَّرَ مَصَارِيعَ نُحَاسٍ وَقَطَّعَ عَوَارِضَ حَدِيدٍ.

17وَالْجُهَّالُ مِنْ طَرِيقِ مَعْصِيَتِهِمْ وَمِنْ آثَامِهِمْ يُذَلُّونَ.18كَرِهَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ كُلَّ طَعَامٍ وَاقْتَرَبُوا إِلَى أَبْوَابِ الْمَوْتِ.19فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى الرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ،20أَرْسَلَ كَلِمَتَهُ فَشَفَاهُمْ وَنَجَّاهُمْ مِنْ تَهْلُكَاتِهِمْ:21فَلْيَحْمَدُوا الرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ،22وَلْيَذْبَحُوا لَهُ ذَبَائِحَ الْحَمْدِ، وَلْيَعُدُّوا أَعْمَالَهُ بِتَرَنُّمٍ.

23اَلنَّازِلُونَ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ فِي السُّفُنِ، الْعَامِلُونَ عَمَلاً فِي الْمِيَاهِ الْكَثِيرَةِ،24هُمْ رَأَوْا أَعْمَالَ الرَّبِّ وَعَجَائِبَهُ فِي الْعُمْقِ.25أَمَرَ فَأَهَاجَ رِيحاً عَاصِفَةً فَرَفَعَتْ أَمْوَاجَهُ.26يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ، يَهْبِطُونَ إِلَى الأَعْمَاقِ. ذَابَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ بِالشَّقَاءِ.27يَتَمَايَلُونَ وَيَتَرَنَّحُونَ مِثْلَ السَّكْرَانِ، وَكُلُّ حِكْمَتِهِمِ ابْتُلِعَتْ.28فَيَصْرُخُونَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، وَمِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ يُخَلِّصُهُمْ.29يُهَدِّئُ الْعَاصِفَةَ فَتَسْكُنُ، وَتَسْكُتُ أَمْوَاجُهَا.30فَيَفْرَحُونَ لأَنَّهُمْ هَدَأُوا، فَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَى الْمَرْفَإِ الَّذِي يُرِيدُونَهُ:31فَلْيَحْمَدُوا الرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ،32وَلْيَرْفَعُوهُ فِي مَجْمَعِ الشَّعْبِ وَلْيُسَبِّحُوهُ فِي مَجْلِسِ الْمَشَايِخِ.

33يَجْعَلُ الأَنْهَارَ قِفَاراً وَمَجَارِيَ الْمِيَاهِ مَعْطَشَةً،34وَالأَرْضَ الْمُثْمِرَةَ سَبِخَةً مِنْ شَرِّ السَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا.35يَجْعَلُ الْقَفْرَ غَدِيرَ مِيَاهٍ وَأَرْضاً يَبَساً يَنَابِيعَ مِيَاهٍ.36وَيُسْكِنُ هُنَاكَ الْجِيَاعَ فَيُهَيِّئُونَ مَدِينَةَ سَكَنٍ.37وَيَزْرَعُونَ حُقُولاً وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً فَتَصْنَعُ ثَمَرَ غَلَّةٍ.38وَيُبَارِكُهُمْ فَيَكْثُرُونَ جِدّاً وَلاَ يُقَلِّلُ بَهَائِمَهُمْ.39ثُمَّ يَقِلُّونَ وَيَنْحَنُونَ مِنْ ضَغْطِ الشَّرِّ وَالْحُزْنِ.40يَسْكُبُ هَوَاناً عَلَى رُؤَسَاءَ وَيُضِلُّهُمْ فِي تِيهٍ بِلاَ طَرِيقٍ،41وَيُعَلِّي الْمِسْكِينَ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَيَجْعَلُ الْقَبَائِلَ مِثْلَ قُطْعَانِ الْغَنَمِ.42يَرَى ذَلِكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ فَيَفْرَحُونَ، وَكُلُّ إِثْمٍ يَسُدُّ فَاهُ.43مَنْ كَانَ حَكِيماً يَحْفَظُ هَذَا وَيَتَعَقَّلُ مَرَاحِمَ الرَّبِّ.
