Text, Translation and Transliteration

(ט) כִּי־אַתָּה יהוה עֶלְיוֹן עַל־כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ מְאֹד נַעֲלֵֽיתָ עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִים: אֹהֲבֵי יהוה שִׂנְאוּ רָע שֹׁמֵר נַפְשׁוֹת חֲסִידָיו מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים יַצִּילֵם: אוֹר זָרֻֽעַ לַצַּדִּיק וּלְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵב שִׂמְחָה: שִׂמְחוּ צַדִּיקִים בַּיהוה וְהוֹדוּ לְזֵֽכֶר קָדְשׁוֹ:

(9)
For You, Eternal One, are supreme over all the earth; You are exalted high above all divine beings. O you who love God, hate evil! For the lives of the loyal are guarded; they are saved from the hand of the wicked. Light is sown for the righteous, radiance for the upright. O you righteous, rejoice in God and acclaim God’s holy name!


Ki ata Adonai elyon al kol ha'arez, meod na'aleta al kol Elohim. Ohavei Adonai sin'u ra, shomer nafshot chasidav, miyad resha'im yatzilem. Or zarua latzadik, ule'yishrei lev simcha. Simchu tzadikim BAdonai, vehodu lezecher kodsho.
