Psalmi 97

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

Yahweh reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad.

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

Clouds and darkness surround him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

3 Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

Fire goes before him and consumes his adversaries on every side.

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

His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.

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

The mountains melt like wax before Yahweh, the Lord of the whole earth.

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

The skies declare his justice, and all the nations see his glory.

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

All those who worship carved figures will be shamed, those who boast in worthless idols— bow down to him, all you gods!

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

Zion heard and was glad, and the towns of Judah rejoiced because of your righteous decrees, Yahweh.

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

For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.

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

You who love Yahweh, hate evil! He protects the lives of his saints, and he takes 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 those with honest hearts.

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

Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous; and give thanks when you remember his holiness.
