Psalms 97

1 YHWH has reigned, The earth is joyful, many islands rejoice.

יְהֹוָה מָלָךְ תָּגֵל הָאָרֶץ יִשְׂמְחוּ אִיִּים רַבִּֽים׃

2 Cloud and darkness [are] around Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

עָנָן וַעֲרָפֶל סְבִיבָיו צֶדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט מְכוֹן כִּסְאֽוֹ׃

3 Fire goes before Him, And burns around His adversaries.

אֵשׁ לְפָנָיו תֵּלֵךְ וּתְלַהֵט סָבִיב צָרָֽיו׃

4 His lightnings have lightened the world, The earth has seen, and is pained.

הֵאִירוּ בְרָקָיו תֵּבֵל רָאֲתָה וַתָּחֵל הָאָֽרֶץ׃

5 Hills, like wax, melted before YHWH, Before the Lord of all the earth.

הָרִים כַּדּוֹנַג נָמַסּוּ מִלִּפְנֵי יְהֹוָה מִלִּפְנֵי אֲדוֹן כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

6 The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.

הִגִּידוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם צִדְקוֹ וְרָאוּ כׇל־הָעַמִּים כְּבוֹדֽוֹ׃

7 All servants of a carved image are ashamed, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to Him, all you gods.

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

8 Zion has heard and rejoices, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Your judgments, O YHWH.

שָׁמְעָה וַתִּשְׂמַח ׀ צִיּוֹן וַתָּגֵלְנָה בְּנוֹת יְהוּדָה לְמַעַן מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ יְהֹוָֽה׃

9 For You, YHWH, [are] Most High over all the earth, You have been exalted greatly over all gods.

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

10 You who love YHWH, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

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

11 Light [is] sown for the righteous, And joy for the upright of heart.

אוֹר זָרֻעַ לַצַּדִּיק וּֽלְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵב שִׂמְחָֽה׃

12 Rejoice, you righteous, in YHWH, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness!

שִׂמְחוּ צַדִּיקִים בַּיהֹוָה וְהוֹדוּ לְזֵכֶר קׇדְשֽׁוֹ׃
