Psalms 97

1 The Lord reigneth: let the earth reioyce: let the multitude of the yles be glad.

יְהוָה מָלָךְ תָּגֵל הָאָרֶץ יִשְׂמְחוּ אִיִּים רַבִּֽים׃

2 Cloudes and darkenes are round about him: righteousnesse and iudgement are the foundation of his throne.

עָנָן וַעֲרָפֶל סְבִיבָיו צֶדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט מְכוֹן כִּסְאֽוֹ׃

3 There shall goe a fire before him, and burne vp his enemies round about.

אֵשׁ לְפָנָיו תֵּלֵךְ וּתְלַהֵט סָבִיב צָרָֽיו׃

4 His lightnings gaue light vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and was afraide.

הֵאִירוּ בְרָקָיו תֵּבֵל רָאֲתָה וַתָּחֵל הָאָֽרֶץ׃

5 The mountaines melted like waxe at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

הָרִים כַּדּוֹנַג נָמַסּוּ מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה מִלִּפְנֵי אֲדוֹן כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

6 The heauens declare his righteousnes, and all the people see his glory.

הִגִּידוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם צִדְקוֹ וְרָאוּ כָל־הָעַמִּים כְּבוֹדֽוֹ׃

7 Confounded be all they that serue grauen images, and that glory in idoles: worship him all ye gods.

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

8 Zion heard of it, and was glad: and the daughters of Iudah reioyced, because of thy iudgements, O Lord.

שָׁמְעָה וַתִּשְׂמַח ׀ צִיּוֹן וַתָּגֵלְנָה בְּנוֹת יְהוּדָה לְמַעַן מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ יְהוָֽה׃

9 For thou, Lord, art most High aboue all the earth: thou art much exalted aboue all gods.

כִּֽי־אַתָּה יְהוָה עֶלְיוֹן עַל־כָּל־הָאָרֶץ מְאֹד נַעֲלֵיתָ עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃

10 Ye that loue the Lord, hate euill: he preserueth the soules of his Saints: hee will deliuer them from the hand of the wicked.

אֹהֲבֵי יְהוָה שִׂנְאוּ רָע שֹׁמֵר נַפְשׁוֹת חֲסִידָיו מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים יַצִּילֵֽם׃

11 Light is sowen for the righteous, and ioy for the vpright in heart.

אוֹר זָרֻעַ לַצַּדִּיק וּֽלְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵב שִׂמְחָֽה׃

12 Reioyce ye righteous in the Lord, and giue thankes for his holy remembrance.

שִׂמְחוּ צַדִּיקִים בַּֽיהוָה וְהוֹדוּ לְזֵכֶר קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃
