Psalms 97

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

Gospod kraljuje, naj se zemlja veseli, naj bo množica otokov vesela le-tega.

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

Oblaki in tema so okoli njega. Pravičnost in sodba sta prebivališče njegovega prestola.

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

Ogenj gre pred njim in naokrog požiga njegove sovražnike.

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

Njegovi bliski so razsvetlili zemeljski [krog]; zemlja je videla in trepetala.

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

Hribi so se ob Gospodovi prisotnosti topili kakor vosek, ob prisotnosti Gospoda celotne zemlje.

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

Nebesa oznanjujejo njegovo pravičnost in vsa ljudstva vidijo njegovo slavo.

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

Zbegani so vsi tisti, ki služijo rezanim podobam, ki se bahajo z maliki; obožujte ga, vsi vi bogovi.

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

Sion je slišal in je bil vesel in judovske hčere so se veselile zaradi tvojih sodb, oh Gospod.

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

Kajti ti, Gospod, si dvignjen nad vso zemljo. Zelo si vzvišen nad vsemi bogovi.

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.

Vi, ki ljubite Gospoda, sovražite zlo. On varuje duše svojih svetih; osvobaja jih iz roke zlobnega.

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

Svetloba je posejana za pravičnega in veselje za iskrenega v srcu.

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

Veselite se v Gospodu, vi pravični in zahvaljujte se pri spominjanju njegove svetosti.
