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

Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.

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

Cloud and darkness round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

3 ا لنّارُ تَسِيرُ أمامَهُ. وَالأعداءُ حَولَهُ يَشتَعِلُونَ لَهَباً!

Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.

4 ت ُضِيءُ العالَمَ بُرُوقُهُ. وَالأرْضُ تَراها فَتَرتَعِدُ خَوفاً.

Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.

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

Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.

6 ب ِصَلاحِهِ تُخبِرُ السَّماواتُ، وَكُلُّ النّاسِ يَرَوْنَ مَجدَهُ.

The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.

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

Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

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

Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.

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

For Thou, Jehovah, Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.

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

Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.

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

Light sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart -- joy.

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

Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
