1 ا للهُ يَحكُمُ! لِتَبتَهِجِ الأرْضُ وَلْتَفرَحْ كُلُّ الجُزُرِ الكَثِيرَةِ.

The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles and coastlands be glad!

2 ي َحُوطُهُ السَّحابُ وَالظُّلمَةُ الكَثِيفَةُ. وَالعَدلُ وَالإنصافُ يَسنِدانِ عَرشَهُ!

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

3 ا لنّارُ تَسِيرُ أمامَهُ. وَالأعداءُ حَولَهُ يَشتَعِلُونَ لَهَباً!

Fire goes before Him and burns up His adversaries round about.

4 ت ُضِيءُ العالَمَ بُرُوقُهُ. وَالأرْضُ تَراها فَتَرتَعِدُ خَوفاً.

His lightnings illumine the world; the earth sees and trembles.

5 ك َالشَّمعِ ذابَتِ الجِبالُ أمامَ يهوه، رَبِّ كُلِّ الأرْضِ!

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

6 ب ِصَلاحِهِ تُخبِرُ السَّماواتُ، وَكُلُّ النّاسِ يَرَوْنَ مَجدَهُ.

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

7 ك ُلُّ مَنْ يَعْبُدُ تَماثِيلَ تافِهَةً وَيَفتَخِرُ بِها سَيُذَلُّ وَيَنحَنِي ذاتَ يَومٍ خُضُوعاً لِلخالِقِ!

Let all those be put to shame who serve graven images, who boast in idols. Fall prostrate before Him, all you gods.

8 س َمِعَتْ صِهْيَوْنُ فَسَعِدَتْ، وَمُدُنُ يَهُوذا ابتَهَجَتْ، بِسَبِبِ أحكامِكَ يا اللهُ،

Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of Your judgments, O Lord.

9 ل أنَّكَ أنتَ اللهُ العَلِيُّ عَلَى كُلِّ الأرْضِ! مُتَفَوِّقٌ أنتَ كَثِيراً عَلَى كُلِّ الآلِهَةِ!

For You, Lord, are high above all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

10 ي ا مُحِبِّي اللهِ ، أبْغِضُوا الشَّرَّ! هُوَ يَحرُسُ نُفُوسَ أتقِيائِهِ، وَمِنَ الأشرارِ يُخَلِّصُهُمْ!

O you who love the Lord, hate evil; He preserves the lives of His saints (the children of God), He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

11 ن ُورٌ يُشرِقُ عَلَى الأبرارِ، وَفَرَحٌ عَلَى مُستَقِيمِي القُلُوبِ.

Light is sown for the righteous and strewn along their pathway, and joy for the upright in heart.

12 ا فرَحُوا فِي اللهِ أيُّها الصّالِحُونَ، وَأكرِمُوا اسْمَهُ القُدُّوسَ!

Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous (upright and in right standing with God), and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness.
