< Psalms 97 >
1 YHWH has reigned, The earth is joyful, many islands rejoice.
上主為王,願大地踴躍,無數島嶼,也都要歡樂!
2 Cloud and darkness [are] around Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.
雲彩和黑暗包圍在祂的四週,正義與公道支持祂的座位。
3 Fire goes before Him, And burns around His adversaries.
烈火在祂前面先行,焚燒祂四周的敵人。
4 His lightnings have lightened the world, The earth has seen, and is pained.
祂的閃電照亮塵寰,大地一見就戰慄搖搣。
5 Hills, like wax, melted before YHWH, Before the Lord of all the earth.
面對上主普世的主宰,大山要像蠟燭一般溶解。
6 The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.
蒼天宣揚祂的公道,萬民目睹祂的光耀。
7 All servants of a carved image are ashamed, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to Him, all you gods.
願所有拜偶像,以邪神自誇人受辱,願所有的神祗,都俯伏在祂面前叩首。
8 Zion has heard and rejoices, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Your judgments, O YHWH.
上主,因您的宣判,熙雍聽見了便笑,猶大各城高興歡躍。
9 For You, YHWH, [are] Most High over all the earth, You have been exalted greatly over all gods.
上主,您在普天下是最尊貴的,您在眾神中是最崇高的。
10 You who love YHWH, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
上主喜愛那惱恨罪惡的人,保護虔誠人們的生命,從惡人手中拯救他們。
11 Light [is] sown for the righteous, And joy for the upright of heart.
光明已升起照耀義人,賜喜樂於人地正直的人。
12 Rejoice, you righteous, in YHWH, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness!
義人,請因上主而歡欣,請您們讚美祂的聖名。
