١ 1 اَلرَّبُّ قَدْ مَلَكَ، فَلْتَبْتَهِجِ ٱلْأَرْضُ، وَلْتَفْرَحِ ٱلْجَزَائِرُ ٱلْكَثِيرَةُ.

The Lord is king, let the earth rejoice: let her many isles be glad.

٢ 2 ٱلسَّحَابُ وَٱلضَّبَابُ حَوْلَهُ. ٱلْعَدْلُ وَٱلْحَقُّ قَاعِدَةُ كُرْسِيِّهِ.

Clouds and darkness are round about him, justice and right are the base of his throne.

Fire goes before him, and blazes around his steps,

٤ 4 أَضَاءَتْ بُرُوقُهُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةَ. رَأَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱرْتَعَدَتْ.

his lightnings illumine the world: the earth quakes at the sight.

٥ 5 ذَابَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ مِثْلَ ٱلشَّمْعِ قُدَّامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، قُدَّامَ سَيِّدِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.

Mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth.

The heavens proclaim his justice, all nations behold his glory.

٧ 7 يَخْزَى كُلُّ عَابِدِي تِمْثَالٍ مَنْحُوتٍ، ٱلْمُفْتَخِرِينَ بِٱلْأَصْنَامِ. ٱسْجُدُوا لَهُ يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلْآلِهَةِ.

Shamed are all image-worshippers, who make a boast of their idols. All the gods bow before him.

٨ 8 سَمِعَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ فَفَرِحَتْ، وَٱبْتَهَجَتْ بَنَاتُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْكَامِكَ يَارَبُّ.

Zion is glad at the tidings, the towns of Judah rejoice because of your judgments, Lord.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ عَلِيٌّ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. عَلَوْتَ جِدًّا عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْآلِهَةِ.

For you are most high over all the earth, greatly exalted above all gods.

١٠ 10 يَا مُحِبِّي ٱلرَّبِّ، أَبْغِضُوا ٱلشَّرَّ. هُوَ حَافِظٌ نُفُوسَ أَتْقِيَائِهِ. مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يُنْقِذُهُمْ.

The Lord loves those who hate evil, he guards the lives of the faithful: from the hand of the wicked he saves them.

Light arises for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.

Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous: give thanks to his holy name.
