1 Hashem reigneth; let ha'aretz rejoice;
let the multitude of isles thereof be glad.
2 Anan and darkness are round about Him;
tzedek and mishpat are the foundation of His kisse.
3 Eish goeth before Him,
and burneth up His enemies on every side.
4 His lightnings light up the tevel;
ha'aretz saw, and trembled.
5 The harim melted like wax at the presence of Hashem,
at the presence of Adon kol HaAretz.
6 HaShomayim declare His tzedek,
and kol ha'amim see His kavod.
7 Shamed be all they that serve pesel,
that boast themselves of elilim;
worship Him, kol elohim.
8 Tziyon heard, and was glad;
and the banot Yehudah rejoiced
because of Thy mishpatim, Hashem.
9 For Thou, Hashem, art Elyon above kol ha'aretz;
Thou art exalted far above kol elohim.
10 Ye that love Hashem, hate rah;
He preserveth the nefashot of His chasidim;
He delivereth them out of the yad resha'im.
11 Ohr dawns for the tzaddik,
and simchah for the yishrei lev (upright in heart).
12 Rejoice in Hashem, ye tzaddikim;
and give thanks at the remembrance of His kodesh (holiness).
