المَزامِير 97

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

The Lord reigneth: let the earth be glad; let the multitude of isles rejoice.

٢ 2 حَوْلَهُ الْغُيُومُ وَالضَّبَابُ، وَالْعَدْلُ وَالحَقُّ قَاعِدَةُ عَرْشِهِ.

Clouds and thick darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the support of his throne.

٣ 3 تَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ نَارٌ وَتُحْرِقُ خُصُومَهُ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِهِ.

A fire goeth before him, and burneth up round about his adversaries.

٤ 4 أَنَارَتْ بُرُوقُهُ الْمَسْكُونَةَ. رَأَتِ الأَرْضُ ذَلِكَ فَارْتَجَفَتْ.

His lightnings give light to the world: the earth seeth it, and trembleth.

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

The mountains melt away like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

٦ 6 أَذَاعَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ عَدْلَهُ وَيَرَى جَمِيعُ الشُّعُوبِ مَجْدَهُ.

The heavens tell of his righteousness, and all the people his glory.

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

Made ashamed shall be all that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: unto him bow down all the gods.

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

Zion heareth it, and rejoiceth; and glad are the daughters of Judah, because of thy decrees, O Lord.

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

For thou, O Lord, art the most high above all the earth: thou art greatly exalted above all gods.

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

Ye that love the Lord, hate ye the evil: he preserveth the souls of his pious ones; out of the hand of the wicked he ever delivereth them.

١١ 11 قَدْ زُرِعَ نُورٌ لِلصِّدِّيقِ وَفَرَحٌ لِلْمُسْتَقِيمِي الْقَلْبِ.

Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.

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

Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord, and give thanks to his holy memorial.
