ה׳ מָלַךְ. יֹאמְרוּ לֶעָתִיד:
The Lord has reigned They will say in the future.
אַף תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל. בְּמָלְכוֹ תִּשְׂמַח הָאָרֶץ:
The world also is established When He reigns, the earth will rejoice.
נָשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת ה׳. לְשׁוֹן צְעָקָה וְקוֹבְלָן הוּא זֶה: אֲהָהּ ה׳, הִנֵּה הָאֻמּוֹת הַשּׁוֹטְפִים כַּנְּהָרוֹת נָשְׂאוּ קוֹלָם יֶהֱמָיוּן, וְאֶת דּוּךְ עָמְקֵי נִבְכֵיהֶם יִשְׂאוּ וְיַגְבִּיהוּ תָּמִיד לְהִתְגָּאוֹת נֶגְדֶּךָ. כָּל לְשׁוֹן דָּכָא לְשׁוֹן עֹמֶק וְשִׁפְלוּת:
The rivers have raised, O Lord This is an expression of a cry and a plaint: Woe, O Lord, behold! Your enemies, who flood like rivers, have raised their voice and roar, and the lowness of the depths of their locks they will raise and lift on high constantly to be haughty against You. Every expression of דכא is an expression of depth and lowness.
מִקֹּלוֹת מַיִם רַבִּים וְגוֹ׳. יָדַעְתִּי אֲנִי, כִּי יוֹתֵר מִקּוֹלוֹת הַמַּיִם הָרַבִּים אֲשֶׁר יֶהֱמָיוּן עָלֵינוּ (ישעיה יז:יב), וּמֵאַדִּירֵי מִשְׁבְּרֵי הַיָּם הַזֶּה, אַתָּה אַדִּיר בַּמָּרוֹם ה׳, וְיָדְךָ תַּקִּיפָה עֲלֵיהֶם:
More than the voices of great waters, etc. I know that more than the voices of great waters, which roar over us, and more than the mightiest breakers of this sea, You are mighty, O Lord, and Your hand is powerful over them.
עֵדֹתֶיךָ. שֶׁהֵעִידוּ וְהִבְטִיחוּ נְבִיאֶיךָ לְבֵיתְךָ, שֶׁהוּא נָאוָה קֹדֶשׁ:
Your testimonies which Your prophets prophesied and promised concerning Your house, which is the dwelling of holiness.
נֶאֶמְנוּ מְאֹד לְבֵיתְךָ. וּלְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים הוּא מְצַפֶּה לָהֶם, וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאָרְכוּ הַיָּמִים, נֶאֱמָנִים הֵם לַה׳ מְאֹד:
are very faithful to Your house and to the length of days He looks forward to them, and although it has been a long time, they are very faithful to God.
נָאֲוָה. כְּמוֹ ״נְאוֹת אֱלֹהִים״ (תהלים פג:יג), לְשׁוֹן נָוֶה. וְתֵדַע שֶׁכָּל נָאוֶה שֶׁבַּמִּקְרָא אֵינָן מְפִיקִין אָלֶ״ף, לְפִי שֶׁהֵם לְשׁוֹן נוֹי, וְזֶה מֵפִיק אָלֶ״ף:
dwelling Heb. נאוה, like (83:13): “the dwellings נְאוֹת of God,” an expression of נָוֶה. You should know [that this is so] because no instance of נָאוָה has a pronounced “aleph,” for they are an expression of נוֹי beauty, but this one has an “aleph” which is pronounced.
