תהילים 97

1 יְהֹוָה מָלָךְ תָּגֵל הָאָרֶץ יִשְׂמְחוּ אִיִּים רַבִּֽים׃

The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad.

2 עָנָן וַעֲרָפֶל סְבִיבָיו צֶדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט מְכוֹן כִּסְאֽוֹ׃

Clouds and darkness are round about Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

3 אֵשׁ לְפָנָיו תֵּלֵךְ וּתְלַהֵט סָבִיב צָרָֽיו׃

A fire goeth before Him, and burneth up His adversaries round about.

4 הֵאִירוּ בְרָקָיו תֵּבֵל רָאֲתָה וַתָּחֵל הָאָֽרֶץ׃

His lightnings lighted up the world; the earth saw, and trembled.

5 הָרִים כַּדּוֹנַג נָמַסּוּ מִלִּפְנֵי יְהֹוָה מִלִּפְנֵי אֲדוֹן כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

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

6 הִגִּידוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם צִדְקוֹ וְרָאוּ כׇל־הָעַמִּים כְּבוֹדֽוֹ׃

The heavens declared His righteousness, and all the peoples saw His glory.

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

Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of things of nought; bow down to Him, all ye gods.

8 שָׁמְעָה וַתִּשְׂמַח ׀ צִיּוֹן וַתָּגֵלְנָה בְּנוֹת יְהוּדָה לְמַעַן מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ יְהֹוָֽה׃

Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced; because of Thy judgments, O LORD.

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

For Thou, LORD, art most high above all the earth; Thou art exalted far above all gods.

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

O ye that love the LORD, hate evil; He preserveth the souls of His saints; He delivered them out of the hand of the wicked.

11 אוֹר זָרֻעַ לַצַּדִּיק וּֽלְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵב שִׂמְחָֽה׃

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

12 שִׂמְחוּ צַדִּיקִים בַּיהֹוָה וְהוֹדוּ לְזֵכֶר קׇדְשֽׁוֹ׃

Be glad in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks to His holy name.
