Psalms 97
1 Yahweh is the king! I want [everyone on] the earth to be glad/happy, and the [people who live on] the islands in the oceans to [also] rejoice [about that!]
Jehovah ist König, die Erde frohlocke, es seien fröhlich die vielen Inseln!
2 There are very dark clouds around him [to hide him]; he rules [MTY] righteously/justly and fairly.
Wolke und Wetternacht sind rings um Ihn, Gerechtigkeit und Recht sind Seines Thrones Festigung.
3 He [sends] fire in front of him, and he completely burns all his enemies in that fire.
Feuer geht vor Seinem Angesicht und setzt in Flammen Seine Dränger ringsumher.
4 All around the world he causes lightning to flash; [people on] the earth see it, and it causes them to [be afraid and] tremble.
Seine Blitze erleuchten die Welt; die Erde sieht es und kreißet.
5 The mountains/hills melt like wax in front of Yahweh, the one who is the Lord, [who rules] over all the earth.
Wie Wachs zerschmelzen Berge vor Jehovahs Angesicht, vor dem Angesicht des Herrn der ganzen Erde.
6 The [angels in] [MTY] heaven proclaim that he acts righteously, and all the people-groups see his glory.
Seine Gerechtigkeit sagen an die Himmel, und alle Völker sehen Seine Herrlichkeit.
7 Everyone who worships idols should be ashamed; all those who are proud of their false gods [should realize that their gods are useless], [It is as though] all those gods bow down [to worship] Yahweh.
Beschämt werden alle Diener der Schnitzbilder, die, so sich rühmen der Götzen! Betet Ihn an, ihr Götter alle!
8 [The people] [MTY] of Jerusalem hear [about Yahweh] and are glad/happy, and [people in the other] [MTY] cities in Judah [also] rejoice, because Yahweh judges [and punishes wicked people].
Zion hört es und ist fröhlich, Jehudahs Töchter frohlocken ob Deiner Gerichte, o Jehovah.
9 Yahweh is the supreme [king] over all the earth; he has very great power, and all the [other] gods have no power at all.
Denn Du, Jehovah, bist der Höchste über der ganzen Erde, bist sehr erhöht über alle Götter!
10 Yahweh loves those who hate what [people do that] is evil; he protects the lives of his people, and he rescues them when the wicked [people try to harm them].
Die ihr Jehovah liebet, haßt das Böse. Er hütet die Seelen Seiner Heiligen, Er errettet sie aus der Ungerechten Händen.
11 His light shines on righteous [people]; he causes those who are righteous to rejoice.
Licht wird gesät für den Gerechten, Fröhlichkeit für die, so geraden Herzens sind.
12 You righteous [people], rejoice about what Yahweh [has done], and thank him, our holy God!
Seid fröhlich in Jehovah, ihr Gerechten, und bekennt dem Andenken Seiner Heiligkeit!
