Psalms 97
1 The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.
Se Seyè a ki wa! Se pou tout moun ki sou latè fè kè yo kontan! Se pou moun ki nan tout zile yo fè fèt!
2 Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.
Li nan mitan yon gwo nwaj tou nwa. L'ap gouvènen tout bagay avèk jistis, san patipri.
3 Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.
Yon dife ap mache devan li. L'ap boule lènmi l' yo tout kote l' pase.
4 His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.
Kout zèklè li yo klere toupatou. Moun ki sou latè wè sa, yo pran tranble.
5 The mountains became like wax at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the Lord of all the earth.
Ti mòn yo fonn tankou lasi devan Seyè a, wi, yo fonn devan chèf tout latè a.
6 The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw his glory.
Syèl la fè konnen jan Bondye pa nan patipri, tout pèp yo wè pouvwa li.
7 Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.
Tout moun k'ap sèvi zidòl yo, yo tout k'ap fè grandizè pou bagay ki pa vo anyen, yo tout gen pou yo wont. Tout bondye yo bese tèt devan li.
8 Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.
Pèp peyi Siyon an tande sa, li kontan. Tout lavil peyi Jida yo fè fèt pou jan ou jije moun, Seyè!
9 For you, Lord, are most high over the earth; you are lifted up over all other gods.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa, se ou menm ki sèl chèf sou tout latè, W'ap dominen sou tout bondye yo.
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.
Seyè a renmen moun ki rayi sa ki mal. Li pwoteje lavi pèp li a, li delivre yo anba men mechan yo.
11 Light is shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.
Limyè Bondye klere moun ki mache dwat devan li. Moun ki fe sa ki byen, l'ap fè kè yo kontan.
12 Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.
Nou tout ki mache dwat devan Bondye, fè kè nou kontan pou sa Seyè a fè pou nou. Di l' mèsi! Li pa tankou tout moun.
