Psalms 97

1 The LORD reigneth, let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of isles be glad!

耶和华作王！愿地快乐！ 愿众海岛欢喜！

2 Clouds and darkness are round about him; Justice and equity are the foundation of his throne.

密云和幽暗在他的四围； 公义和公平是他宝座的根基。

3 Before him goeth a fire, Which burneth up his enemies around.

有烈火在他前头行， 烧灭他四围的敌人。

4 His lightnings illumine the world; The earth beholdeth and trembleth.

他的闪电光照世界， 大地看见便震动。

5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

诸山见耶和华的面， 就是全地之主的面，便消化如蜡。

6 The heavens declare his righteousness, And all nations behold his glory.

诸天表明他的公义； 万民看见他的荣耀。

7 Confounded be they who worship graven images, Who glory in idols! To him, all ye gods, bow down!

愿一切事奉雕刻的偶像、 靠虚无之神自夸的，都蒙羞愧。 万神哪，你们都当拜他。

8 Zion hath heard, and is glad, And the daughters of Judah exult On account of thy judgments, O LORD!

耶和华啊，锡安听见你的判断就欢喜； 犹大的城邑也都快乐。

9 For thou, O LORD! art most high above all the earth; Thou art far exalted above all gods!

因为你—耶和华至高，超乎全地； 你被尊崇，远超万神之上。

10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil! He preserveth the lives of his servants, And delivereth them from the hand of the wicked.

你们爱耶和华的，都当恨恶罪恶； 他保护圣民的性命， 搭救他们脱离恶人的手。

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

散布亮光是为义人； 预备喜乐是为正直人。

12 Rejoice, O ye righteous, in the LORD, And praise his holy name!

你们义人当靠耶和华欢喜， 称谢他可记念的圣名。
