Psalms 97

1 The Lord reigns! Let the earth be glad, and distant lands be full of joy!

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

2 He is surrounded by clouds and thick darkness; his throne is founded on justice and right.

٢ حَوْلَهُ الْغُيُومُ وَالضَّبَابُ، وَالْعَدْلُ وَالحَقُّ قَاعِدَةُ عَرْشِهِ.

3 Flames proceed him, burning up his enemies on every side.

٣ تَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ نَارٌ وَتُحْرِقُ خُصُومَهُ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِهِ.

4 His flashes of lightning light up the world; the earth watches and trembles.

٤ أَنَارَتْ بُرُوقُهُ الْمَسْكُونَةَ. رَأَتِ الأَرْضُ ذَلِكَ فَارْتَجَفَتْ.

5 The mountains melt like wax in the presence of the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.

٥ ذَابَتِ الْجِبَالُ كَالشَّمْعِ مِنْ نَظْرَةِ الرَّبِّ سَيِّدِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.

6 The heavens proclaim his goodness; everyone sees his glory.

٦ أَذَاعَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ عَدْلَهُ وَيَرَى جَمِيعُ الشُّعُوبِ مَجْدَهُ.

7 All those who worship idols are humiliated, those who are proud of their idols—for all “gods” bow down before him.

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

8 Jerusalem hears this and celebrates; all the towns of Judah are happy because of your judgments, Lord.

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

9 For you, Lord, are the highest of all, ruling over the whole earth; your position is far above any other god.

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

10 You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of those who are faithful to him, and saves them from the power of wicked people.

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

11 Light shines on those who do good, giving joy to those who live right.

١١ قَدْ زُرِعَ نُورٌ لِلصِّدِّيقِ وَفَرَحٌ لِلْمُسْتَقِيمِي الْقَلْبِ.

12 Be happy in the Lord, you who do right, and thank him for his holy nature!

١٢ افْرَحُوا أَيُّهَا الصِّدِّيقُونَ بِالرَّبِّ، وَارْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لاسْمِهِ الأَقْدَسِ.
