In Praise of the Lord
1 Praise the Lord!
With all my heart I will thank the Lord
in the assembly of his people.
2 How wonderful are the things the Lord does!
All who are delighted with them want to understand them.
3 All he does is full of honor and majesty;
his righteousness is eternal.
4 The Lord does not let us forget his wonderful actions;
he is kind and merciful.
5 He provides food for those who honor him;
he never forgets his covenant.
6 He has shown his power to his people
by giving them the lands of foreigners.
7 In all he does he is faithful and just;
all his commands are dependable.
8 They last for all time;
they were given in truth and righteousness.
9 He set his people free
and made an eternal covenant with them.
Holy and mighty is he!
10 The way to become wise is to honor the Lord;
he gives sound judgment to all who obey his commands.
He is to be praised forever.
حمد الرب من أجل أعماله
1 هلِّلويا!
أحمَدُ الرّبَّ بِكُل قلبـي
في مَجلِسِ المُستَقيمينَ وفي الجماعةِ.
2 أعمالُ الرّبِّ عظيمةٌ
ودَرْسٌ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يُسَرُّ بها.
3 عَمَلُهُ جليلٌ بَهيٌّ
وعَدلُهُ دائِمٌ إلى الأبدِ.
4 لِعَجائِبِهِ ذِكْرٌ على الدَّوامِ،
وهوَ حَنونٌ رحيمٌ.
5 يُعطي أتقياءَهُ طعاما،
ويذكُرُ إلى الأبدِ عَهدَهُ.
6 أظهَرَ قُوَّتَهُ لِشعبِهِ،
فأعطاهُم أرضَ الأمَمِ.
7 أعمالُ يَدَيهِ حَقٌّ وإنصافٌ
وأوامِرُهُ كُلُّها أمينَةٌ.
8 تبقَى راسخةً مدَى الدَّهرِ،
وقِوامُها الأمانَةُ والاستِقامةُ.
9 أرسَلَ الفِدَاءَ لِشعبِهِ،
وعاهَدَهُم عَهدا أبديًّا.
قدُّوسٌ ومَرهُوبٌ اسمُهُ.
10 رأسُ الحِكمةِ مخافَةُ الرّبِّ،
والعاقِلُ مَنْ يعمَلُ بِوَصاياهُ.
هلِّلويا إلى الأَبدِ.
