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.

TUHAN adalah Raja! Hendaklah bumi bergembira, dan pulau-pulau bersukacita.

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

Ia dikelilingi awan dan kegelapan; keadilan dan hukum adalah azas pemerintahan-Nya.

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

Api menjalar di hadapan-Nya, menghanguskan musuh di sekeliling-Nya.

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

Kilatnya menerangi dunia, bumi gemetar melihat-Nya.

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

Gunung-gunung meleleh seperti lilin di hadapan TUHAN, di hadapan TUHAN, penguasa seluruh bumi.

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

Langit mewartakan keadilan-Nya, dan semua bangsa melihat kemuliaan-Nya.

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

Semua orang yang menyembah berhala akan dipermalukan, yang membanggakan barang-barang yang tidak berguna; semua dewa akan sujud di hadapan TUHAN.

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

Penduduk Sion dan kota-kota Yehuda senang ketika mendengar keputusan TUHAN.

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

Sebab Engkau, ya TUHAN, penguasa seluruh bumi; Engkau agung melebihi segala dewa.

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.

Hai kamu yang mencintai TUHAN, bencilah kejahatan! Sebab TUHAN melindungi hidup umat-Nya, Ia membebaskan mereka dari kuasa orang durhaka.

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

Terang sudah terbit bagi orang yang tulus hati, dan sukacita untuk orang yang jujur.

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

Bergembiralah, hai orang-orang yang tulus hati karena apa yang telah dilakukan TUHAN, dan bersyukurlah kepada Allah yang suci.
