Psalmi 97

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

Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.

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

Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

3 Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.

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

Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.

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

Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.

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

The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.

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

Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

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

Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, 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 over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.

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

Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.

11 Svjetlost sviće pravedniku i radost čestitima u srcu.

Light [is] sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart — joy.

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

Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
