96 O sing unto Hashem a shir chadash; sing unto Hashem, kol ha’aretz.

Sing unto Hashem, barakhu Shmo, show forth His Yeshuah (salvation) from day to day.

Declare His kavod among the Goyim, His nifle’ot (marvelous deeds) among all peoples.

For Hashem is gadol, and me’od to be praised; He is to be feared above all elohim.

For kol elohei HaAmim are elilim (idols); but Hashem made Shomayim.

Hod and hadar are before Him; oz and tiferet are in His Mikdash.

Render unto Hashem, O ye mishpekhot of the nations, render unto Hashem kavod and oz.

Render unto Hashem the kavod due unto Shmo; bring a minchah, and come into His khatzerot (courtyards).

O worship Hashem in the hadrat Kodesh; fear before Him, kol ha’aretz.

10 Say among the Goyim that Hashem reigneth; the tevel also is established that it shall not be moved; He shall judge the Amim bemeysharim (in equity, in uprightness).

11 Let Shomayim rejoice, and let ha’aretz be glad; let the yam roar, and the fullness thereof.

12 Let the sadeh be jubilant, and all that is therein; then shall kol atzei ya’ar (all the trees of the forest) sing for joy

13 Before Hashem; for He cometh, for He cometh to judge ha’aretz; He shall judge tevel betzedek (world in righteousness), and Amim with His emunah (truth).

97 Hashem reigneth; let ha’aretz rejoice; let the multitude of isles thereof be glad.

Anan and darkness are round about Him; tzedek and mishpat are the foundation of His kisse.

Eish goeth before Him, and burneth up His enemies on every side.

His lightnings light up the tevel; ha’aretz saw, and trembled.

The harim melted like wax at the presence of Hashem, at the presence of Adon kol HaAretz.

HaShomayim declare His tzedek, and kol ha’amim see His kavod.

Shamed be all they that serve pesel, that boast themselves of elilim; worship Him, kol elohim.

Tziyon heard, and was glad; and the banot Yehudah rejoiced because of Thy mishpatim, Hashem.

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).

98 (A Mizmor) O sing unto Hashem a shir chadash; for He hath done marvellous things; His right hand, and His zero’a kodesh, hath gotten Him victory.

Hashem hath made known His Yeshuah (salvation); His tzedek hath He openly showed in the sight of the Goyim.

He hath remembered His chesed and His emes toward the Bais Yisroel; all the ends of ha’aretz have seen the Yeshu’at Eloheinu (salvation of our G-d).

Make a joyful noise unto Hashem, kol ha’aretz; make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

Sing unto Hashem with the kinnor; with the kinnor, and the voice of singing.

With trumpets and sound of the shofar make a joyful noise before HaMelech Hashem.

Let the yam roar, and the fullness thereof; the tevel, and they that dwell therein.

Let the floods clap their hands; let the harim be joyful together

Before Hashem; for He cometh to judge ha’aretz; with tzedek shall He judge the tevel, and the people with meisharim (uprightness).

99 Hashem reigneth; let the nations tremble; He sitteth between the keruvim; let ha’aretz be shaken.

Hashem is great in Tziyon; and He is high above all the nations.

Let them praise Thy Shem gadol v’nora; for it is kadosh.

The Mighty King also loveth mishpat; Thou dost establish equity, Thou executest mishpat and tzedakah in Ya’akov.

Exalt ye Hashem Eloheinu, and worship at His footstool; for He is kadosh.

Moshe and Aharon among His kohanim, and Shmuel among them that call upon Shmo; they called upon Hashem, and He answered them.

He spoke unto them in the ammud anan (pillar of cloud); they were shomer over His statutes, and the chok (ordinance) that He gave them.

Thou answeredst them, Hashem Eloheinu; Thou wast El (G-d) that forgavest them, though Thou tookest vengeance of their misdeeds.

Exalt Hashem Eloheinu, and worship at His Har Kodesh; for Hashem Eloheinu is kadosh.
