Psalms 97

1 The Lord reigns! Let the earth be glad, and distant lands be full of joy!

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

2 He is surrounded by clouds and thick darkness; his throne is founded on justice and right.

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

3 Flames proceed him, burning up his enemies on every side.

Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

4 His flashes of lightning light up the world; the earth watches and trembles.

Munje mu svijet osvjetljuju; zemlja to vidi i strepi.

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

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

6 The heavens proclaim his goodness; everyone sees his glory.

Nebesa navješćuju pravednost njegovu, svi narodi gledaju mu slavu.

7 All those who worship idols are humiliated, those who are proud of their idols—for all “gods” bow down before him.

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

8 Jerusalem hears this and celebrates; all the towns of Judah are happy because of your judgments, Lord.

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

9 For you, Lord, are the highest of all, ruling over the whole earth; your position is far above any other god.

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

10 You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of those who are faithful to him, and saves them from the power of wicked people.

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

11 Light shines on those who do good, giving joy to those who live right.

Svjetlost sviće pravedniku i radost čestitima u srcu.

12 Be happy in the Lord, you who do right, and thank him for his holy nature!

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