Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad! (LXX 96:1; Rahlfs 96:1)
יְהוָ֣ה מָ֭לָךְ תָּגֵ֣ל הָאָ֑רֶץ יִ֝שְׂמְח֗וּ אִיִּ֥ים רַבִּֽים׃
2Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. (LXX 96:2; Rahlfs 96:2)
עָנָ֣ן וַעֲרָפֶ֣ל סְבִיבָ֑יו צֶ֥דֶק וּ֝מִשְׁפָּ֗ט מְכ֣וֹן כִּסְאֽוֹ׃
3A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side. (LXX 96:3; Rahlfs 96:3)
אֵ֭שׁ לְפָנָ֣יו תֵּלֵ֑ךְ וּתְלַהֵ֖ט סָבִ֣יב צָרָֽיו׃
4His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles. (LXX 96:4; Rahlfs 96:4)
הֵאִ֣ירוּ בְרָקָ֣יו תֵּבֵ֑ל רָאֲתָ֖ה וַתָּחֵ֣ל הָאָֽרֶץ׃
5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. (LXX 96:5; Rahlfs 96:5)
הָרִ֗ים כַּדּוֹנַ֗ג נָ֭מַסּוּ מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה מִ֝לִּפְנֵ֗י אֲד֣וֹן כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
6The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory. (LXX 96:6; Rahlfs 96:6)
הִגִּ֣ידוּ הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם צִדְק֑וֹ וְרָא֖וּ כָל־הָעַמִּ֣ים כְּבוֹדֽוֹ׃
7Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods! (LXX 96:7; Rahlfs 96:7)
יֵבֹ֤שׁוּ ׀ כָּל־עֹ֬בְדֵי פֶ֗סֶל הַמִּֽתְהַלְלִ֥ים בָּאֱלִילִ֑ים הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־ל֝וֹ כָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃
8Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, Yahweh. (LXX 96:8; Rahlfs 96:8)
שָׁמְעָ֬ה וַתִּשְׂמַ֨ח ׀ צִיּ֗וֹן וַ֭תָּגֵלְנָה בְּנ֣וֹת יְהוּדָ֑ה לְמַ֖עַן מִשְׁפָּטֶ֣יךָ יְהוָֽה׃
9For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods. (LXX 96:9; Rahlfs 96:9)
כִּֽי־אַתָּ֤ה יְהוָ֗ה עֶלְי֥וֹן עַל־כָּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ מְאֹ֥ד נַ֝עֲלֵ֗יתָ עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃
10You who love Yahweh, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. (LXX 96:10; Rahlfs 96:10)
אֹהֲבֵ֥י יְהוָ֗ה שִׂנְא֫וּ רָ֥ע שֹׁ֭מֵר נַפְשׁ֣וֹת חֲסִידָ֑יו מִיַּ֥ד רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים יַצִּילֵֽם׃
11Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. (LXX 96:11; Rahlfs 96:11)
