Psalms 97
1 Yahweh, hath become king, Let the earth exult, Let the multitude of coastlands rejoice.
Herren er blitt konge; jorden fryde sig, mange øer glede sig!
2 Clouds and thick darkness, are round about him, Righteousness and justice, are the establishing of his throne.
Skyer og mørke er rundt omkring ham, rettferd og rett er hans trones grunnvoll.
3 Fire, before him, proceedeth, That it may consume, round about, his adversaries.
Ild går foran hans åsyn og setter hans fiender i brand rundt omkring.
4 His lightnings, have illumined, the world, The earth, hath seen, and hath trembled;
Hans lyn oplyser jorderike; jorden ser det og bever.
5 The mountains, like wax, have melted, At the presence of Yahweh, At the presence, of the Lord of all the earth.
Fjellene smelter som voks for Herrens åsyn, for all jordens herres åsyn.
6 The heavens, have declared, his righteousness, —And all the peoples, have seen, his glory.
Himlene kunngjør hans rettferdighet, og alle folkene ser hans ære.
7 Let all who serve an image, be ashamed, They who boast themselves in things of nought, Bow down unto him, all ye gods.
Til skamme blir alle de som dyrker utskårne billeder, som roser sig av avguder; tilbed ham, alle guder!
8 Zion, hath heard and rejoiced, And the daughters of Judah, have exulted, Because of thy righteous decisions, O Yahweh:
Sion hører det og gleder sig, og Judas døtre fryder sig over dine dommer, Herre!
9 For, thou, Yahweh, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly hast thou exalted thyself above all gods.
For du, Herre, er den Høieste over all jorden, du er såre ophøiet over alle guder.
10 Ye lovers of Yahweh! be haters of wrong, —He preserveth the lives of his men of lovingkindness, From the hand of the lawless, will he rescue them.
I som elsker Herren, hat det onde! Han bevarer sine frommes sjeler; han frir dem ut av de ugudeliges hånd.
11 Light, is sown for the righteous one, And, for the upright in heart, rejoicing:
Lys er utsådd for den rettferdige, og glede for de opriktige av hjertet.
12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Yahweh, And give ye thanks, at the mention of his holiness.
Gled eder, I rettferdige i Herren, og pris hans hellige navn!
