Psalms 97

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

Jehovha anobata ushe, nyika ngaifare; zviwi zviri kure ngazvifare.

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

Makore nerima guru zvakamukomberedza; kururama nokururamisira ndidzo nheyo dzechigaro chake choushe.

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

Moto unoenda mberi kwake uchipisa vavengi vake kumativi ose.

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

Mheni yake inovhenekera pasi; nyika inozviona igodedera.

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

Makomo anonyungudika senamo pamberi paJehovha, pamberi paIshe wenyika yose.

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

Kudenga denga kunoparidza kururama kwake, uye vanhu vose vanoona kubwinya kwake.

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

Vose vanonamata zvifananidzo vanonyadziswa, avo vanozvirumbidza nezvifananidzo, munamatei, imi vamwari vose!

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

Zioni rinonzwa rigofara uye misha yeJudha inofara nokuda kwezvamakatonga, imi Jehovha.

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

Nokuti imi, iyemi Jehovha, ndimi Wokumusoro-soro pasi pose; makasimudzirwa kupfuura vamwari vose.

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.

Vanoda Jehovha ngavavenge zvakaipa, nokuti anorinda upenyu kwavanhu vake vakatendeka uye anovarwira muruoko rwowakaipa.

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

Chiedza chinovhenekera pamusoro pavakarurama, nomufaro pamusoro pavane mwoyo yakarurama.

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

Farai muna Jehovha, imi vakarurama, uye mukudze zita rake dzvene.
