Psalms 97

1 For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.

יְהֹוָה מָלָךְ תָּגֵל הָאָרֶץ יִשְׂמְחוּ אִיִּים רַבִּֽים׃

2 Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgement are the establishment of his throne.

עָנָן וַעֲרָפֶל סְבִיבָיו צֶדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט מְכוֹן כִּסְאֽוֹ׃

3 Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.

אֵשׁ לְפָנָיו תֵּלֵךְ וּתְלַהֵט סָבִיב צָרָֽיו׃

4 His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled.

הֵאִירוּ בְרָקָיו תֵּבֵל רָאֲתָה וַתָּחֵל הָאָֽרֶץ׃

5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

הָרִים כַּדּוֹנַג נָמַסּוּ מִלִּפְנֵי יְהֹוָה מִלִּפְנֵי אֲדוֹן כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

6 The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.

הִגִּידוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם צִדְקוֹ וְרָאוּ כׇל־הָעַמִּים כְּבוֹדֽוֹ׃

7 Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all you his angels.

יֵבֹשׁוּ ׀ כׇּל־עֹבְדֵי פֶסֶל הַמִּֽתְהַלְלִים בָּאֱלִילִים הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לוֹ כׇּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃

8 Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of your judgements, O Lord.

שָׁמְעָה וַתִּשְׂמַח ׀ צִיּוֹן וַתָּגֵלְנָה בְּנוֹת יְהוּדָה לְמַעַן מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ יְהֹוָֽה׃

9 For you are Lord most high over all the earth; you are greatly exalted above all gods.

כִּֽי־אַתָּה יְהֹוָה עֶלְיוֹן עַל־כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ מְאֹד נַעֲלֵיתָ עַל־כׇּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃

10 You that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.

אֹֽהֲבֵי יְהֹוָה שִׂנְאוּ ־ רָע שֹׁמֵר נַפְשׁוֹת חֲסִידָיו מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים יַצִּילֵֽם׃

11 Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

אוֹר זָרֻעַ לַצַּדִּיק וּֽלְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵב שִׂמְחָֽה׃

12 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.

שִׂמְחוּ צַדִּיקִים בַּיהֹוָה וְהוֹדוּ לְזֵכֶר קׇדְשֽׁוֹ׃
