Psalmi 97

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

Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!

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

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

3 Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

A fire goes before him, and burns up 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 at the presence of Yahweh, 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. 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 shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!

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

Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, 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 preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers 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 Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.
