詩篇 97

1 上主為王，願大地踴躍，無數島嶼，也都要歡樂！

The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.

2 雲彩和黑暗包圍在祂的四週，正義與公道支持祂的座位。

Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.

3 烈火在祂前面先行，焚燒祂四周的敵人。

Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.

4 祂的閃電照亮塵寰，大地一見就戰慄搖搣。

His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.

5 面對上主普世的主宰，大山要像蠟燭一般溶解。

The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

6 蒼天宣揚祂的公道，萬民目睹祂的光耀。

The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.

7 願所有拜偶像，以邪神自誇人受辱，願所有的神祗，都俯伏在祂面前叩首。

All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!

8 上主，因您的宣判，熙雍聽見了便笑，猶大各城高興歡躍。

Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.

9 上主，您在普天下是最尊貴的，您在眾神中是最崇高的。

For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

10 上主喜愛那惱恨罪惡的人，保護虔誠人們的生命，從惡人手中拯救他們。

Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11 光明已升起照耀義人，賜喜樂於人地正直的人。

Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.

12 義人，請因上主而歡欣，請您們讚美祂的聖名。

Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.
