Psalm 151 (Arabic & English) - Fr. Gawargious Michael

Asalamo laki ya Mariam - ⲭⲉⲣⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ - السلام لك يامريم

20 My soul still remembers
And sinks within me.

21 This I recall to my mind,
Therefore I have hope.

22 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.

23 They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.

Your love, O Mary, is our greatest hope,
O Mother of the Magnified, be our mother.

Your Son reminded you of us, on the Cross,
He gave you to the beloved, and gave you to us.

As our kind mother, we take refuge in you,
Show your help, O Mary, to your children.

When we have hope in you, our souls you heal,
Whenever we hope from you, in the valley of sorrow.

We ask for protection, from all evils,
Show us your care, O Mary, in the Day of Judgement.

O Mother of yearning, and beautiful love,
O Door of Heaven, delightful is your love.

The mother said, our Saviour desired,
That all your blessings, O Mary, will be valuable.

The fortune of the servants, O Mary, is not,
Like a day in torment, with the unbelievers.

Show us your glory, in every challenge,
He who comes to you, O Mary, is asking for your aid.

Your love, O Mary, is our greatest hope,
O Mother of the Magnified, be our mother.

Your Love O Mary

Lyrics:
I start with the name of the holy God, 
The Immortal, Eternal, and Judge, 
Our Savior, the Reviver of souls,
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

With planning and wisdom He came,
He took flesh as man, 
And freed us from our slavery,
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

He resembled the servant He created,
For the salvation of those in sadness, 
And the Eternal Word took flesh
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

He united His divinity with,
His humanity and He is the Judge,
We praise Him and increasingly exalt Him. 
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Mary carried the One who is praised
Nine full months not less,
Who when mentioned the ranks proclaim, 
Holy Immortal have m ercy on us.

Our Master willingly saved us
And returned Adam to his home. 
After he was overwhelmed with sorrow.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

He is Eternal, Immortal, and worshiped
Who turned the water into wine in jars 
Who was crucified by the Jews.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Kind, merciful, exalted, and honored
Greatness, and might are due to Him. 
He dwelt in Joachim's daughter's womb.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

He erased the shame from Adam and his sons
By His incarnation from the Lady of the world. 
And the universe rejoiced with its dwellers,
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

He was truly named the Son of God
And named also the Son of man
And He is the One God without separation
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

The Cherubim and the Seraphim was seen
Worshiping before the Judge. 
Proclaiming with gladness and greatness,
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Mary became like heaven
To the Son of God the forgiver. 
She puzzled the scholars.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

A light shone forth from David's house
Who lead the sons of men,
To Whom the ranks of the throne worship,
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

He bowed the heavens and came down
For the salvation of Adam His servant.
Let us all praise Him saying
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

He appeared united with humanity,
And opened the eyes of the blind. 
And He is the One of might and power.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Great is the Lord of hosts
Whom John worshiped profoundly 
In his mother Elizabeth's womb
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

The forgiver of all sins and iniquities.
Healed the sick and cured Simon’s mother-in-law,
And for the salvation of Adam, was crucified,
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

He saved Adam and granted him
Salvation after his sadness,
He saved him from tribulations and captivity.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

He accepted for us all that suffering
From the oppressors, Caiaphas and Annas. 
And the Jewish people the stiff-necked.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Honored Forgiver and Knowledgeable,
He spoke to Mary in the garden. 
Our Savior, the Almighty God.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

To the Lord is the earth and whats in it,
All the cities and its inhabitants. 
He lets creation die and revives it.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Persian Kings came to Him
With their three different presents. 
And in Bethlehem, they worshiped Him. 
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

A Star shined at that time,
So they saw Him in those cities. 
He was leading them in darkness.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Grant us mercy
O You Who was sought by the Persians. 
And dwell with Your Holy Spirit in us. 
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Keep Your people from all evils.
And grant peace unto the Church.
And also, let Her servants be sons of light.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Do not forget them O Holy One,
Accept their prayers and oblations. 
Keep them from the devil's traps.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

O, You Who accepted the Publican.
And brought forth Jonah from the whale's belly. 
Keep the evils' trap away from them.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

And the psalter who is sinful
Pleads for Your forgiveness. 
And the gain of the joy of paradise
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.
