Holman Christian Standard BibleHebrew Study Bible
1The LORD reigns! Let the earth rejoice; let the many coasts and islands be glad. 1יְהוָ֣ה מָ֭לָךְ תָּגֵ֣ל הָאָ֑רֶץ יִ֝שְׂמְח֗וּ אִיִּ֥ים רַבִּֽים׃
2Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. 2עָנָ֣ן וַעֲרָפֶ֣ל סְבִיבָ֑יו צֶ֥דֶק וּ֝מִשְׁפָּ֗ט מְכ֣וֹן כִּסְאֽוֹ׃
3Fire goes before Him and burns up His foes on every side. 3אֵ֭שׁ לְפָנָ֣יו תֵּלֵ֑ךְ וּתְלַהֵ֖ט סָבִ֣יב צָרָֽיו׃
4His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles. 4הֵאִ֣ירוּ בְרָקָ֣יו תֵּבֵ֑ל רָאֲתָ֖ה וַתָּחֵ֣ל הָאָֽרֶץ׃
5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD-- at the presence of the Lord of all the earth. 5הָרִ֗ים כַּדּוֹנַ֗ג נָ֭מַסּוּ מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה מִ֝לִּפְנֵ֗י אֲד֣וֹן כָּל־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃
6The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory. 6הִגִּ֣ידוּ הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם צִדְק֑וֹ וְרָא֖וּ כָל־ הָעַמִּ֣ים כְּבוֹדֽוֹ׃
7All who serve carved images, those who boast in idols, will be put to shame. All the gods must worship Him. 7יֵבֹ֤שׁוּ ׀ כָּל־ עֹ֬בְדֵי פֶ֗סֶל הַמִּֽתְהַלְלִ֥ים בָּאֱלִילִ֑ים הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־ ל֝וֹ כָּל־ אֱלֹהִֽים׃
8Zion hears and is glad, and the towns of Judah rejoice because of Your judgments, LORD. 8שָׁמְעָ֬ה וַתִּשְׂמַ֨ח ׀ צִיּ֗וֹן וַ֭תָּגֵלְנָה בְּנ֣וֹת יְהוּדָ֑ה לְמַ֖עַן מִשְׁפָּטֶ֣יךָ יְהוָֽה׃
9For You, LORD, are the Most High over all the earth; You are exalted above all the gods. 9כִּֽי־ אַתָּ֤ה יְהוָ֗ה עֶלְי֥וֹן עַל־ כָּל־ הָאָ֑רֶץ מְאֹ֥ד נַ֝עֲלֵ֗יתָ עַל־ כָּל־ אֱלֹהִֽים׃
10You who love the LORD, hate evil! He protects the lives of His godly ones; He rescues them from the power of the wicked. 10אֹהֲבֵ֥י יְהוָ֗ה שִׂנְא֫וּ רָ֥ע שֹׁ֭מֵר נַפְשׁ֣וֹת חֲסִידָ֑יו מִיַּ֥ד רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים יַצִּילֵֽם׃
11Light dawns for the righteous, gladness for the upright in heart. 11א֭וֹר זָרֻ֣עַ לַצַּדִּ֑יק וּֽלְיִשְׁרֵי־ לֵ֥ב שִׂמְחָֽה׃
12Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name. 12שִׂמְח֣וּ צַ֭דִּיקִים בַּֽיהוָ֑ה וְ֝הוֹד֗וּ לְזֵ֣כֶר קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃
