Psalms 97

1 For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.

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

2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.

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

3 A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about.

Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

4 His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled.

Munje mu svijet osvjetljuju; zemlja to vidi i strepi.

5 The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

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

6 The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.

Nebesa navješćuju pravednost njegovu, svi narodi gledaju mu slavu.

7 Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:

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

8 Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord.

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

9 For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.

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

10 You that love the Lord, hate evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner.

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

11 Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart.

Svjetlost sviće pravedniku i radost čestitima u srcu.

12 Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.

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