Psalmi 97

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

THE Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

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

Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

3 Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.

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

His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

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

The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, 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 people see his glory.

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

Confounded be all they 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 Lord.

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

For thou, Lord, art 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.

Ye that love the Lord, 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!

Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
