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

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

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

Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

3 ا لنّارُ تَسِيرُ أمامَهُ. وَالأعداءُ حَولَهُ يَشتَعِلُونَ لَهَباً!

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

4 ت ُضِيءُ العالَمَ بُرُوقُهُ. وَالأرْضُ تَراها فَتَرتَعِدُ خَوفاً.

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

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 people see his glory.

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

Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye 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 thy judgments, O Lord.

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

For thou, Lord, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.

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

Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth 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 gladness for the upright in heart.

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

Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
