Psalms 97

1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.

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

2 Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.

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

3 Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.

Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

4 His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.

Munje mu svijet osvjetljuju; zemlja to vidi i strepi.

5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

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

6 The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.

Nebesa navješćuju pravednost njegovu, svi narodi gledaju mu slavu.

7 All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!

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

8 Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.

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

9 For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

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

10 Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

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

11 Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.

Svjetlost sviće pravedniku i radost čestitima u srcu.

12 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.

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