Psalms 97

1 The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.

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

2 Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.

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

3 Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.

Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

4 His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.

Munje mu svijet osvjetljuju; zemlja to vidi i strepi.

5 The mountains became like wax at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the Lord of all the earth.

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

6 The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw his glory.

Nebesa navješćuju pravednost njegovu, svi narodi gledaju mu slavu.

7 Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.

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

8 Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.

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

9 For you, Lord, are most high over the earth; you are lifted up over all other gods.

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

10 You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.

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

11 Light is shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.

Svjetlost sviće pravedniku i radost čestitima u srcu.

12 Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.

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