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!]
TUHAN adalah Raja! Hendaklah bumi bergembira, dan pulau-pulau bersukacita.
2 There are very dark clouds around him [to hide him]; he rules [MTY] righteously/justly and fairly.
Ia dikelilingi awan dan kegelapan; keadilan dan hukum adalah azas pemerintahan-Nya.
3 He [sends] fire in front of him, and he completely burns all his enemies in that fire.
Api menjalar di hadapan-Nya, menghanguskan musuh di sekeliling-Nya.
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.
Kilatnya menerangi dunia, bumi gemetar melihat-Nya.
5 The mountains/hills melt like wax in front of Yahweh, the one who is the Lord, [who rules] over all the earth.
Gunung-gunung meleleh seperti lilin di hadapan TUHAN, di hadapan TUHAN, penguasa seluruh bumi.
6 The [angels in] [MTY] heaven proclaim that he acts righteously, and all the people-groups see his glory.
Langit mewartakan keadilan-Nya, dan semua bangsa melihat kemuliaan-Nya.
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.
Semua orang yang menyembah berhala akan dipermalukan, yang membanggakan barang-barang yang tidak berguna; semua dewa akan sujud di hadapan TUHAN.
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].
Penduduk Sion dan kota-kota Yehuda senang ketika mendengar keputusan TUHAN.
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.
Sebab Engkau, ya TUHAN, penguasa seluruh bumi; Engkau agung melebihi segala dewa.
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].
Hai kamu yang mencintai TUHAN, bencilah kejahatan! Sebab TUHAN melindungi hidup umat-Nya, Ia membebaskan mereka dari kuasa orang durhaka.
11 His light shines on righteous [people]; he causes those who are righteous to rejoice.
Terang sudah terbit bagi orang yang tulus hati, dan sukacita untuk orang yang jujur.
12 You righteous [people], rejoice about what Yahweh [has done], and thank him, our holy God!
Bergembiralah, hai orang-orang yang tulus hati karena apa yang telah dilakukan TUHAN, dan bersyukurlah kepada Allah yang suci.
