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

The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; Let the many islands be glad.

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

Clouds and thick darkness surround 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 lit up the world; The earth saw and trembled.

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

The mountains 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 have seen His glory.

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

Let all those be ashamed who serve graven images, Who boast themselves of idols; Worship Him, all you gods.

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

Zion heard this and was glad, And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced Because of Your judgments, O Lord.

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

For You are the Lord Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

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

Hate evil, you who love the Lord, Who preserves the souls of His godly ones; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

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

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

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

Be glad in the Lord, you righteous ones, And give thanks to His holy name.
