Human Sin and God's Goodness
1 Sinners don't respect God;
sin is all they think about.
2 They like themselves too much
to hate their own sins
or even to see them.
3 They tell deceitful lies,
and they don't have the sense
to live right.
4 Those people stay awake,
thinking up mischief,
and they follow the wrong road,
refusing to turn from sin.
5 Your love is faithful, Lord,
and even the clouds in the sky
can depend on you.
6 Your decisions are always fair.
They are firm like mountains,
deep like the sea,
and all people and animals
are under your care.
7 Your love is a treasure,
and everyone finds shelter
in the shadow of your wings.
8 You give your guests a feast
in your house,
and you serve a tasty drink
that flows like a river.
9 The life-giving fountain
belongs to you,
and your light gives light
to each of us.
10 Our Lord, keep showing love
to everyone who knows you,
and use your power to save all
whose thoughts please you.
11 Don't let those proud
and merciless people
kick me around
or chase me away.
12 Look at those wicked people!
They are knocked down,
never to get up again.
في الرب ملء الحياة
1 لِكبـيرِ المُغَنِّينَ. لِعَبدِ الرّبِّ داوُدَ:
2 في أعماقِ قلبِ الشِّرِّيرِ تَهمُسُ المَعصيةُ.
«لا تَضَعْ مَخافةَ اللهِ أمامَ عينَيكَ».
3 فيَحلو ذلكَ في نَظَرِهِ
ويَجِدُ إثْمَهُ أهلا لِلمَديحِ.
4 كلامُ فَمِه إثْمٌ وَغِشٌّ،
ويُهمِلُ التَعقُّلَ والخَيرَ.
5 يُهَيِّىءُ الإثْمَ على مَضجَعِهِ،
ويَقِفُ في طريقٍ لا تَصلُحُ،
ولا يرفُضُ أنْ يفعَلَ الشَّرَّ.
6 يا ربُّ، إلى السَّماواتِ رحمَتُكَ،
وإلى الغُيومِ أمانَتُكَ.
7 عَدلُكَ مِثلُ الجِبالِ الشَّامِخةِ،
وأحكامُكَ يا ربُّ غَمْرٌ عظيمٌ.
وأنتَ تُخَلِّصُ البشَرَ والبَهائِمَ.
8 ما أكرَمَ رحمَتَكَ يا اللهُ!
في ظِلِّ جَناحَيكَ يحتَمي البشَرُ.
9 مِنْ دَسَمِ بَيتِكَ يشبَعُونَ،
ومِنْ نَهرِ نِعَمِكَ تَسقيهِم.
10 يُنبوعُ الحياةِ عِندَكَ،
وبِنورِكَ نُعاينُ النُّورَ.
11 أدِمْ لِعارِفيكَ رحمَتَكَ،
وعَدلَكَ لِلمُستَقيمي القُلوبِ.
12 لا قارَبَتْني قدَمُ المُتكبِّرِ
ولا باعَدَتْني عَنكَ يدُ الشِّرِّيرِ.
13 هُناكَ يسقُطُ كُلُّ مَنْ يفعَلُ الإثْمَ.
يرتَمي، ولا قيامَ لهُ.
