Psalm 97תהלים צ״ז

יְקוָ֣ק מָ֭לָךְ תָּגֵ֣ל הָאָ֑רֶץ יִ֝שְׂמְח֗וּ אִיִּ֥ים רַבִּֽים׃

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

עָנָ֣ן וַעֲרָפֶ֣ל סְבִיבָ֑יו צֶ֥דֶק וּ֝מִשְׁפָּ֗ט מְכ֣וֹן כִּסְאֽוֹ׃

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

אֵ֭שׁ לְפָנָ֣יו תֵּלֵ֑ךְ וּתְלַהֵ֖ט סָבִ֣יב צָרָֽיו׃

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

הֵאִ֣ירוּ בְרָקָ֣יו תֵּבֵ֑ל רָאֲתָ֖ה וַתָּחֵ֣ל הָאָֽרֶץ׃

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

הָרִ֗ים כַּדּוֹנַ֗ג נָ֭מַסּוּ מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְקוָ֑ק מִ֝לִּפְנֵ֗י אֲד֣וֹן כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

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

הִגִּ֣ידוּ הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם צִדְק֑וֹ וְרָא֖וּ כָל־הָעַמִּ֣ים כְּבוֹדֽוֹ׃

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

יֵבֹ֤שׁוּ כָּל־עֹ֬בְדֵי פֶ֗סֶל הַמִּֽתְהַלְלִ֥ים בָּאֱלִילִ֑ים הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־ל֝וֹ כָּל־אֱ־לֹהִֽים׃

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

שָׁמְעָ֬ה וַתִּשְׂמַ֨ח צִיּ֗וֹן וַ֭תָּגֵלְנָה בְּנ֣וֹת יְהוּדָ֑ה לְמַ֖עַן מִשְׁפָּטֶ֣יךָ יְקוָֽק׃

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

כִּֽי־אַתָּ֤ה יְקוָ֗ק עֶלְי֥וֹן עַל־כָּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ מְאֹ֥ד נַ֝עֲלֵ֗יתָ עַל־כָּל־אֱ־לֹהִֽים׃

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

אֹהֲבֵ֥י יְקוָ֗ק שִׂנְא֫וּ רָ֥ע שֹׁ֭מֵר נַפְשׁ֣וֹת חֲסִידָ֑יו מִיַּ֥ד רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים 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.

א֭וֹר זָרֻ֣עַ לַצַּדִּ֑יק וּֽלְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵ֥ב שִׂמְחָֽה׃

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

שִׂמְח֣וּ צַ֭דִּיקִים בַּֽיקוָ֑ק וְ֝הוֹד֗וּ לְזֵ֣כֶר קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃

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