Psalms 96

Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)

Hebrew Old Testament (Masoretic Text)

1For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.

1שִׁ֣ירוּ לַ֭יהוָה שִׁ֣יר חָדָ֑שׁ שִׁ֥ירוּ לַ֝יהוָ֗ה כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

2Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.

2שִׁ֣ירוּ לַ֭יהוָה בָּרֲכ֣וּ שְׁמֹ֑ו בַּשְּׂר֥וּ מִיֹּֽום־לְ֝יֹ֗ום יְשׁוּעָתֹֽו׃

3A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about.

3סַפְּר֣וּ בַגֹּויִ֣ם כְּבֹודֹ֑ו בְּכָל־הָֽ֝עַמִּ֗ים נִפְלְאֹותָֽיו׃

4His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled.

4כִּ֥י גָ֘דֹ֤ול יְהוָ֣ה וּמְהֻלָּ֣ל מְאֹ֑ד נֹורָ֥א ה֝֗וּא עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃

5The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

5כִּ֤י ׀ כָּל־אֱלֹהֵ֣י הָעַמִּ֣ים אֱלִילִ֑ים וַֽ֝יהוָ֗ה שָׁמַ֥יִם עָשָֽׂה׃

6The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.

6הֹוד־וְהָדָ֥ר לְפָנָ֑יו עֹ֥ז וְ֝תִפְאֶ֗רֶת בְּמִקְדָּשֹֽׁו׃

7Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:

7הָב֣וּ לַ֭יהוָה מִשְׁפְּחֹ֣ות עַמִּ֑ים הָב֥וּ לַ֝יהוָ֗ה כָּבֹ֥וד וָעֹֽז׃

8Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord.

8הָב֣וּ לַ֭יהוָה כְּבֹ֣וד שְׁמֹ֑ו שְׂאֽוּ־מִ֝נְחָ֗ה וּבֹ֥אוּ לְחַצְרֹותָֽיו׃

9For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.

9הִשְׁתַּחֲו֣וּ לַ֭יהוָה בְּהַדְרַת־קֹ֑דֶשׁ חִ֥ילוּ מִ֝פָּנָ֗יו כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

10You that love the Lord, hate evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner.

10אִמְר֤וּ בַגֹּויִ֨ם ׀ יְה֘וָ֤ה מָלָ֗ךְ אַף־תִּכֹּ֣ון תֵּ֭בֵל בַּל־תִּמֹּ֑וט יָדִ֥ין עַ֝מִּ֗ים בְּמֵישָׁרִֽים׃

11Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart.

11יִשְׂמְח֣וּ הַ֭שָּׁמַיִם וְתָגֵ֣ל הָאָ֑רֶץ יִֽרְעַ֥ם הַ֝יָּ֗ם וּמְלֹאֹֽו׃

12Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.

12יַעֲלֹ֣ז שָׂ֭דַי וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־בֹּ֑ו אָ֥ז יְ֝רַנְּנ֗וּ כָּל־עֲצֵי־יָֽעַר׃
