יי מלך תגל הארץ

Edit SongDiscussionHistoryPrint

Adonai malach tagel ha-aretz, yismichu iyim rabim.
Anan ve-arafel sevivav,
tzedek umishpat m’chon kise-oh.
Esh lefanav telech, utelahet saviv tzarav.
Ha-eru birakav tevel, ra-atah vatachel ha-aretz.
Hareme kadonag namasu milifni Adonai,
milfnei adon kol-ha-aretz.
Higidu hashamayim tzidko, verau kol-ha-amim kivodo.
Yevshu kol-ovdei pesel hamit-halelim ba-elilim, hishtachavu low kol-elohim.
*Shamah vatismach tzion, vatagelna binot yehudah, lima-an mishpateicha Adonai.
Ki ata Adonai elyon al kol-ha-aretz,
me-ode na-aleta al kol-elohim.
Ohavei Adonai sinu rah, Shomer nafshote chasidav, miyad rishaim yatzilem.
Or zaruah latzadik, viliyishrei lev simcha. Simchu tzadikim ba-Adinai, vehodu lizecher kadsho.
יְהוָה מָלָךְ, תָּגֵל הָאָרֶץ; יִשְׂמְחוּ, אִיִּים רַבִּים.
עָנָן וַעֲרָפֶל סְבִיבָיו; צֶדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט, מְכוֹן כִּסְאוֹ.
אֵשׁ, לְפָנָיו תֵּלֵךְ; וּתְלַהֵט סָבִיב צָרָיו.
הֵאִירוּ בְרָקָיו תֵּבֵל; רָאֲתָה וַתָּחֵל הָאָרֶץ.
הָרִים--כַּדּוֹנַג, נָמַסּוּ מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה: מִלִּפְנֵי, אֲדוֹן כָּל-הָאָרֶץ.
הִגִּידוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם צִדְקוֹ; וְרָאוּ כָל-הָעַמִּים כְּבוֹדוֹ.
יֵבֹשׁוּ, כָּל-עֹבְדֵי פֶסֶל-- הַמִּתְהַלְלִים בָּאֱלִילִים;
הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ-לוֹ כָּל-אֱלֹהִים.
*שָׁמְעָה וַתִּשְׂמַח, צִיּוֹן, וַתָּגֵלְנָה, בְּנוֹת יְהוּדָה--
לְמַעַן מִשְׁפָּטֶי יְהוָה.
כִּי-אַתָּה יְהוָה, עֶלְיוֹן עַל-כָּל-הָאָרֶץ;
מְאֹד נַעֲלֵיתָ עַל-כָּל-אֱלֹהִים.
אֹהֲבֵי יְהוָה, שִׂנְאוּ-רָע:
שֹׁמֵר, נַפְשׁוֹת חֲסִידָיו מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים, יַצִּילֵם.
אוֹר, זָרֻעַ לַצַּדִּיק; וּלְיִשְׁרֵי-לֵב שִׂמְחָה.
ישִׂמְחוּ צַדִּיקִים, בַּיהוָה; וְהוֹדוּ, לְזֵכֶר קָדְשׁוֹ.

Translation:

1 The LORD reigneth;​ let the earth rejoice; let the multitude​ of isles be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness are round about Him; righteous​​​​ness and justice are the foundatio​n of His throne.
3 A fire goeth before Him, and burneth up His adversari​es round about.
4 His lightning​s lighted up the world; the earth saw, and trembled.​
5 The mountains​ melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens declared His righteous​​​​ness, and all the peoples saw His glory.
7 Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselve​s of things of nought;
bow down to Him, all ye gods.
8 Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters​ of Judah rejoiced;​
becau​se of Thy judgments​, O LORD.
9 For Thou, LORD, art most high above all the earth;
Thou art exalted far above all gods.
10 O ye that love the LORD, hate evil;
He preservet​h the souls of His saints; He delivered​ them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous​​​​, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Be glad in the LORD, ye righteous​​​​; and give thanks to His holy name.
