المَزامِير 97

١ 1 الرَّبُّ قَدْ مَلَكَ، فَلْتَبْتَهِجِ الأَرْضُ، وَلْيَفْرَحْ أَهْلُ الْجُزُرِ الْكَثِيرَةِ.

The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.

٢ 2 حَوْلَهُ الْغُيُومُ وَالضَّبَابُ، وَالْعَدْلُ وَالحَقُّ قَاعِدَةُ عَرْشِهِ.

Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.

٣ 3 تَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ نَارٌ وَتُحْرِقُ خُصُومَهُ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِهِ.

Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.

٤ 4 أَنَارَتْ بُرُوقُهُ الْمَسْكُونَةَ. رَأَتِ الأَرْضُ ذَلِكَ فَارْتَجَفَتْ.

His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.

٥ 5 ذَابَتِ الْجِبَالُ كَالشَّمْعِ مِنْ نَظْرَةِ الرَّبِّ سَيِّدِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.

The mountains became like wax at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the Lord of all the earth.

٦ 6 أَذَاعَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ عَدْلَهُ وَيَرَى جَمِيعُ الشُّعُوبِ مَجْدَهُ.

The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw his glory.

٧ 7 يَخْزَى كُلُّ عَابِدِي التَّمَاثِيلِ الْمَنْحُوتَةِ، الْمُفْتَخِرِينَ بِالأَصْنَامِ. اسْجُدُوا لَهُ يَا جَمِيعَ الآلِهَةِ.

Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.

٨ 8 سَمِعَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ فَفَرِحَتْ، وَابْتَهَجَتْ بَنَاتُ يَهُوذَا بِأَحْكَامِكَ يَا رَبُّ.

Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.

٩ 9 لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَلِيُّ فَوْقَ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ، وَالْمُتَسَامِي جِدّاً عَلَى كُلِّ الآلِهَةِ.

For you, Lord, are most high over the earth; you are lifted up over all other gods.

١٠ 10 يَا مُحِبِّي الرَّبِّ، أَبْغِضُوا الشَّرَّ. الرَّبُّ حَارِسٌ نُفُوسَ أَتْقِيَائِهِ، وَهُوَ يُنْقِذُهُمْ مِنْ أَيْدِي الأَشْرَارِ.

You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.

١١ 11 قَدْ زُرِعَ نُورٌ لِلصِّدِّيقِ وَفَرَحٌ لِلْمُسْتَقِيمِي الْقَلْبِ.

Light is shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.

١٢ 12 افْرَحُوا أَيُّهَا الصِّدِّيقُونَ بِالرَّبِّ، وَارْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لاسْمِهِ الأَقْدَسِ.

Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.
