١ 1 الرَّبُّ قَدْ مَلَكَ. فَارْتَعَدَتِ الشُّعُوبُ. جَلَسَ فَوْقَ مَلائِكَةِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ فَاهْتَزَّتِ الأَرْضُ.

Yahweh is the [supreme] king, so [all] the people-groups should tremble ([in his presence/in front of him])! He sits on his throne [in the temple] above the [statues of] winged creatures, [so] the earth should quake/shake!

٢ 2 مَا أَعْظَمَ الرَّبَّ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ وَهُوَ مُتَعَالٍ فَوْقَ كُلِّ الشُّعُوبِ.

Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.

٣ 3 يَحْمَدُونَ اسْمَكَ الْعَظيِمَ الْمَرْهُوبَ لأَنَّهُ قُدُّوسٌ!

[So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!

٤ 4 قُوَّةُ الْمَلِكِ فِي حُبِّ الحَقِّ. وَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ ثَبَّتَّ الإِنْصَافَ وَأَجْرَيْتَ الْحَقَّ وَالْعَدْلَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.

٦ 6 مُوسَى وَهرُونُ بَيْنَ كَهَنَتِهِ، وَصَمُوئِيلُ بَيْنَ الدَّاعِينَ بِاسْمِهِ، دَعَوْا الرَّبَّ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُمْ.

Moses and Aaron were two of his priests; Samuel also was someone who prayed to him. Those [three] cried out to Yahweh [to help them], and he answered them.

٧ 7 خَاطَبَهُمْ فِي عَمُودِ السَّحَابِ: فَأَطَاعُوا أَقْوَالَهُ وَمَارَسُوا أَحْكَامَهُ الَّتِي أَعْطَاهُمْ.

He spoke to Moses and Aaron from the cloud [that was like a huge] pillar; they obeyed [all] the laws and commandments [DOU] that he gave to them.

٨ 8 أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، أَنْتَ اسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُمْ. غَفَرْتَ لَهُمْ إثْمَهُمْ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ عَاقَبْتَهُمْ جَزَاءَ أَفْعَالِهِمْ.

Yahweh, our God, you answered [your people] [when they cried out to you to help them]; you are a God who forgave them [for those sins that they had committed], even though you punished them for the things that they did that are wrong.

٩ 9 عَظِّمُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا وَاسْجُدُوا فِي جَبَلِ الْمَقْدِسِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا قُدُّوسٌ.

Praise Yahweh, our God, and worship him [at the temple] on his sacred hill; [it is right to do that] because Yahweh, our God, is holy!
