1Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
1إِنَّمَا صَالِحٌ ٱللهُ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنْقِيَاءِ ٱلْقَلْبِ.
2But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.
2أَمَّا أَنَا فَكَادَتْ تَزِلُّ قَدَمَايَ. لَوْلَا قَلِيلٌ لَزَلِقَتْ خَطَوَاتِي.
3For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
3لِأَنِّي غِرْتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ، إِذْ رَأَيْتُ سَلَامَةَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ.
4For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.
4لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَتْ فِي مَوْتِهِمْ شَدَائِدُ، وَجِسْمُهُمْ سَمِينٌ.
5They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.
5لَيْسُوا فِي تَعَبِ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَمَعَ ٱلْبَشَرِ لَا يُصَابُونَ.
6Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.
6لِذَلِكَ تَقَلَّدُوا ٱلْكِبْرِيَاءَ. لَبِسُوا كَثَوْبٍ ظُلْمَهُمْ.
7Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.
7جَحَظَتْ عُيُونُهُمْ مِنَ ٱلشَّحْمِ. جَاوَزُوا تَصَوُّرَاتِ ٱلْقَلْبِ.
8They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.
8يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلشَّرِّ ظُلْمًا. مِنَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ.
9They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.
9جَعَلُوا أَفْوَاهَهُمْ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأَلْسِنَتُهُمْ تَتَمَشَّى فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.
10Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.
10لِذَلِكَ يَرْجِعُ شَعْبُهُ إِلَى هُنَا، وَكَمِيَاهٍ مُرْوِيَةٍ يُمْتَصُّونَ مِنْهُمْ.
11They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
11وَقَالُوا: «كَيْفَ يَعْلَمُ ٱللهُ؟ وَهَلْ عِنْدَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ مَعْرِفَةٌ؟».
12Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.
12هُوَذَا هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ، وَمُسْتَرِيحِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ يُكْثِرُونَ ثَرْوَةً.
13Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence,
13حَقًّا قَدْ زَكَّيْتُ قَلْبِي بَاطِلًا وَغَسَلْتُ بِٱلنَّقَاوَةِ يَدَيَّ.
14For all day long I have been plagued, and punished every morning.
14وَكُنْتُ مُصَابًا ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، وَتَأَدَّبْتُ كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ.
15If I had said, “I will speak thus”, behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
15لَوْ قُلْتُ أُحَدِّثُ هَكَذَا، لَغَدَرْتُ بِجِيلِ بَنِيكَ.
16When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—
16فَلَمَّا قَصَدْتُ مَعْرِفَةَ هَذَا، إِذَا هُوَ تَعَبٌ فِي عَيْنَيَّ.
17until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.
17حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ مَقَادِسَ ٱللهِ، وَٱنْتَبَهْتُ إِلَى آخِرَتِهِمْ.
18Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.
18حَقًّا فِي مَزَالِقَ جَعَلْتَهُمْ. أَسْقَطْتَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَوَارِ.
19How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.
19كَيْفَ صَارُوا لِلْخَرَابِ بَغْتَةً! ٱضْمَحَلُّوا، فَنُوا مِنَ ٱلدَّوَاهِي.
20As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
20كَحُلْمٍ عِنْدَ ٱلتَّيَقُّظِ يَارَبُّ، عِنْدَ ٱلتَّيَقُّظِ تَحْتَقِرُ خَيَالَهُمْ.
21For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.
21لِأَنَّهُ تَمَرْمَرَ قَلْبِي، وَٱنْتَخَسْتُ فِي كُلْيَتَيَّ.
22I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.
22وَأَنَا بَلِيدٌ وَلَا أَعْرِفُ. صِرْتُ كَبَهِيمٍ عِنْدَكَ.
23Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.
23وَلَكِنِّي دَائِمًا مَعَكَ. أَمْسَكْتَ بِيَدِي ٱلْيُمْنَى.
24You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
24بِرَأْيِكَ تَهْدِينِي، وَبَعْدُ إِلَى مَجْدٍ تَأْخُذُنِي.
25Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.
25مَنْ لِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ؟ وَمَعَكَ لَا أُرِيدُ شَيْئًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.
26My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
26قَدْ فَنِيَ لَحْمِي وَقَلْبِي. صَخْرَةُ قَلْبِي وَنَصِيبِي ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ.
27For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you.
27لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلْبُعَدَاءُ عَنْكَ يَبِيدُونَ. تُهْلِكُ كُلَّ مَنْ يَزْنِي عَنْكَ.
28But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.
28أَمَّا أَنَا فَٱلِٱقْتِرَابُ إِلَى ٱللهِ حَسَنٌ لِي. جَعَلْتُ بِٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ مَلْجَإِي، لِأُخْبِرَ بِكُلِّ صَنَائِعِكَ.
