Psalmi 97

1 Jahve kraljuje: neka kliče zemlja, nek' se vesele otoci mnogi!

Jehovah reigneth; let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad.

2 Oblak i tama ovijaju njega, pravda i pravo temelji su prijestolja njegova.

Clouds and darkness are round about him: Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

3 Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

A fire goeth before him, And burneth up his adversaries round about.

4 Munje mu svijet osvjetljuju; zemlja to vidi i strepi.

His lightnings lightened the world: The earth saw, and trembled.

5 Brda se tope pred Jahvom k'o vosak, pred vladarom zemlje sve.

The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 Nebesa navješćuju pravednost njegovu, svi narodi gledaju mu slavu.

The heavens declare his righteousness, And all the peoples have seen his glory.

7 Nek' se postide svi što likove štuju i koji se hvale kumirima. Poklonite mu se, svi bozi!

Let all them be put to shame that serve graven images, That boast themselves of idols: Worship him, all ye gods.

8 Sion radostan sluša, gradovi Judini kliču zbog tvojih sudova, o Jahve!

Zion heard and was glad, And the daughters of Judah rejoiced, Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.

9 Jer ti si, o Jahve, Svevišnji - nad svom zemljom, visoko, visoko nad bozima svima.

For thou, Jehovah, art most high above all the earth: Thou art exalted far above all gods.

10 Jahve ljubi one koji mrze na zlo, on čuva duše pobožnika svojih, izbavlja ih iz ruku opakih.

O ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of his saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

11 Svjetlost sviće pravedniku i radost čestitima u srcu.

Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.

12 Radujte se, pravednici, u Jahvi, slavite sveto ime njegovo!

Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous; And give thanks to his holy memorial [name].
