Psalms 97

1 The Lord reigneth: let the earth be glad; let the multitude of isles rejoice.

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

2 Clouds and thick darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the support of his throne.

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

3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up round about his adversaries.

Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

4 His lightnings give light to the world: the earth seeth it, and trembleth.

Munje mu svijet osvjetljuju; zemlja to vidi i strepi.

5 The mountains melt away 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 tell of his righteousness, and all the people his glory.

Nebesa navješćuju pravednost njegovu, svi narodi gledaju mu slavu.

7 Made ashamed shall be all that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: unto him bow down all the gods.

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

8 Zion heareth it, and rejoiceth; and glad are the daughters of Judah, because of thy decrees, O Lord.

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

9 For thou, O Lord, art the most high above all the earth: thou art greatly exalted above all gods.

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

10 Ye that love the Lord, hate ye the evil: he preserveth the souls of his pious ones; out of the hand of the wicked he ever delivereth them.

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

11 Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.

Svjetlost sviće pravedniku i radost čestitima u srcu.

12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord, and give thanks to his holy memorial.

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