المَزامِير 97

١ 1 الرَّبُّ قَدْ مَلَكَ، فَلْتَبْتَهِجِ الأَرْضُ، وَلْيَفْرَحْ أَهْلُ الْجُزُرِ الْكَثِيرَةِ.

Jehovah reigneth: let the earth be glad, let the many isles rejoice.

٢ 2 حَوْلَهُ الْغُيُومُ وَالضَّبَابُ، وَالعَدْلُ وَالحَقُّ قَاعِدَةُ عَرْشِهِ.

Clouds and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.

٣ 3 تَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ نَارٌ وَتُحْرِقُ خُصُومَهُ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِهِ.

A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about.

٤ 4 أَنَارَتْ بُرُوقُهُ الْمَسْكُونَةَ. رَأَتِ الأَرْضُ ذَلِكَ فَارْتَجَفَتْ.

His lightnings lightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

٥ 5 ذَابَتِ الْجِبَالُ كَالشَّمْعِ مِنْ نَظْرَةِ الرَّبِّ سَيِّدِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.

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

٦ 6 أَذَاعَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ عَدْلَهُ وَيَرَى جَمِيعُ الشُّعُوبِ مَجْدَهُ.

The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.

٧ 7 يَخْزَى كُلُّ عَابِدِي التَّمَاثِيلِ الْمَنْحُوتَةِ، الْمُفْتَخِرِينَ بِالأَصْنَامِ. اسْجُدُوا لَهُ يَاجَمِيعَ الآلِهَةِ.

Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols. Worship him, all ye gods.

٨ 8 سَمِعَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ فَفَرِحَتْ، وَابْتَهَجَتْ بَنَاتُ يَهُوذَا بِأَحْكَامِكَ يَارَبُّ.

Zion heard, and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.

٩ 9 لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَلِيُّ فَوْقَ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ، وَالْمُتَسَامِي جِدّاً عَلَى كُلِّ الآلِهَةِ.

For thou, Jehovah, art the Most High above all the earth; thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.

١٠ 10 يَامُحِبِّي الرَّبِّ، أَبْغِضُوا الشَّرَّ. الرَّبُّ حَارِسٌ نُفُوسَ أَتْقِيَائِهِ، وَهُوَ يُنْقِذُهُمْ مِنْ أَيْدِي الأَشْرَارِ.

Ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints, he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

١١ 11 قَدْ زُرِعَ نُورٌ لِلصِّدِّيقِ وَفَرَحٌ لِلْمُسْتَقِيمِي الْقَلْبِ.

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

١٢ 12 افْرَحُوا أَيُّهَا الصِّدِّيقُونَ بِالرَّبِّ، وَارْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لاسْمِهِ الأَقْدَسِ.

Rejoice in Jehovah, ye righteous; and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.
