Psalmi 97

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

For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.

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

Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne.

3 Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.

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

His lightnings appeared to 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 the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

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

The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.

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

Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all you his angels.

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

Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of your judgments, O Lord.

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

For you are Lord most high over all the earth; you are greatly exalted above all gods.

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

You that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.

11 Svjetlost sviće pravedniku i radost čestitima u srcu.

Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

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

Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
