Psalms 97

1 For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.

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

2 Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne.

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

3 Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.

Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

4 His lightnings appeared 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 the whole earth.

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

6 The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.

Nebesa navješćuju pravednost njegovu, svi narodi gledaju mu slavu.

7 Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship 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 rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of your judgments, O Lord.

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

9 For you are Lord most high over all the earth; you are greatly exalted 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 preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.

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

11 Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

Svjetlost sviće pravedniku i radost čestitima u srcu.

12 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.

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