תהילים 97

1 יְהוָה מָלָךְ תָּגֵל הָאָרֶץ יִשְׂמְחוּ אִיִּים רַבִּֽים׃

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

2 עָנָן וַעֲרָפֶל סְבִיבָיו צֶדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט מְכוֹן כִּסְאֽוֹ׃

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

3 אֵשׁ לְפָנָיו תֵּלֵךְ וּתְלַהֵט סָבִיב צָרָֽיו׃

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

4 הֵאִירוּ בְרָקָיו תֵּבֵל רָאֲתָה וַתָּחֵל הָאָֽרֶץ׃

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

5 הָרִים כַּדּוֹנַג נָמַסּוּ מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה מִלִּפְנֵי אֲדוֹן כָּל־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 כָל־הָעַמִּים כְּבוֹדֽוֹ׃

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10 אֹהֲבֵי יְהוָה שִׂנְאוּ רָע שֹׁמֵר נַפְשׁוֹת חֲסִידָיו מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים יַצִּילֵֽם׃

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

11 אוֹר זָרֻעַ לַצַּדִּיק וּֽלְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵב שִׂמְחָֽה׃

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

12 שִׂמְחוּ צַדִּיקִים בַּֽיהוָה וְהוֹדוּ לְזֵכֶר קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃

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