Psalms 97
1 Yahweh reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad.
ʻOku pule ʻa Sihova; tuku ke fiefia ʻa māmani; pea nekeneka ʻae ngaahi ʻotu motu.
2 Clouds and darkness surround him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
ʻOku takatakai ia ʻe he ngaahi ʻao mo e fakapoʻuli: ko e angatonu mo e fakamaau ko e tuʻunga ia ʻo hono ʻafioʻanga.
3 Fire goes before him and consumes his adversaries on every side.
ʻOku muʻomuʻa ʻae afi ʻiate ia, pea vela ke ʻosi hono ngaahi fili ʻoku takatakai.
4 His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.
Naʻe fakamaama ʻaki ʻa māmani ʻa hono ngaahi ʻuhila: naʻe mamata ʻae fonua, pea tetetete.
5 The mountains melt like wax before Yahweh, the Lord of the whole earth.
Naʻe vela ʻo vai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻo hangē ko e pulu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki ʻo māmani kotoa pē.
6 The skies declare his justice, and all the nations see his glory.
ʻOku fakahā ʻe he ngaahi langi ʻene māʻoniʻoni, pea mamata ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki hono nāunau.
7 All those who worship carved figures will be shamed, those who boast in worthless idols— bow down to him, all you gods!
Ke puputuʻu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nau tauhi ʻae ngaahi fakatātā kuo tā, mo nau polepole ʻi he ngaahi tamapua: lotu kiate ia, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi ʻotua.
8 Zion heard and was glad, and the towns of Judah rejoiced because of your righteous decrees, Yahweh.
Naʻe fanongo ʻa Saione, pea fiefia ai pea naʻe fiefia ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Siuta, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau, ʻE Sihova.
9 For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
He ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke māʻolunga hake ki māmani kotoa pē: ʻoku ke māʻolunga lahi ʻaupito ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē.
10 You who love Yahweh, hate evil! He protects the lives of his saints, and he takes them out of the hand of the wicked.
ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku ʻofa kia Sihova, mou fehiʻa ki he kovi: ʻoku fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻae laumālie ʻo ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni; ʻoku ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻoe kau angahala.
11 Light is sown for the righteous and gladness for those with honest hearts.
Kuo tūtuuʻi ʻae maama maʻae māʻoniʻoni, mo e fiefia maʻae angatonu ʻi loto.
12 Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous; and give thanks when you remember his holiness.
Mou fiefia ʻia Sihova ʻae kau angatonu; pea fakafetaʻi ʻi he manatu ki heʻene māʻoniʻoni.
