詩篇 97

1 耶和華作王！願地快樂！ 願眾海島歡喜！

YHWH has reigned, The earth is joyful, many islands rejoice.

2 密雲和幽暗在他的四圍； 公義和公平是他寶座的根基。

Cloud and darkness [are] around Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

3 有烈火在他前頭行， 燒滅他四圍的敵人。

Fire goes before Him, And burns around His adversaries.

4 他的閃電光照世界， 大地看見便震動。

His lightnings have lightened the world, The earth has seen, and is pained.

5 諸山見耶和華的面， 就是全地之主的面，便消化如蠟。

Hills, like wax, melted before YHWH, Before the Lord of all the earth.

6 諸天表明他的公義； 萬民看見他的榮耀。

The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.

7 願一切事奉雕刻的偶像、 靠虛無之神自誇的，都蒙羞愧。 萬神哪，你們都當拜他。

All servants of a carved image are ashamed, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to Him, all you gods.

8 耶和華啊，錫安聽見你的判斷就歡喜； 猶大的城邑也都快樂。

Zion has heard and rejoices, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Your judgments, O YHWH.

9 因為你－耶和華至高，超乎全地； 你被尊崇，遠超萬神之上。

For You, YHWH, [are] Most High over all the earth, You have been exalted greatly over all gods.

10 你們愛耶和華的，都當恨惡罪惡； 他保護聖民的性命， 搭救他們脫離惡人的手。

You who love YHWH, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11 散布亮光是為義人； 預備喜樂是為正直人。

Light [is] sown for the righteous, And joy for the upright of heart.

12 你們義人當靠耶和華歡喜， 稱謝他可記念的聖名。

Rejoice, you righteous, in YHWH, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness!
