Psalms 97

1 Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.

Jahve kraljuje: neka kliče zemlja, nek' se vesele otoci mnogi!

2 Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

Oblak i tama ovijaju njega, pravda i pravo temelji su prijestolja njegova.

3 Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.

Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

4 Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.

Munje mu svijet osvjetljuju; zemlja to vidi i strepi.

5 Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.

Brda se tope pred Jahvom k'o vosak, pred vladarom zemlje sve.

6 The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.

Nebesa navješćuju pravednost njegovu, svi narodi gledaju mu slavu.

7 Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

Nek' se postide svi što likove štuju i koji se hvale kumirima. Poklonite mu se, svi bozi!

8 Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.

Sion radostan sluša, gradovi Judini kliču zbog tvojih sudova, o Jahve!

9 For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.

Jer ti si, o Jahve, Svevišnji - nad svom zemljom, visoko, visoko nad bozima svima.

10 Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.

Jahve ljubi one koji mrze na zlo, on čuva duše pobožnika svojih, izbavlja ih iz ruku opakih.

11 Light [is] sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart — joy.

Svjetlost sviće pravedniku i radost čestitima u srcu.

12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!

Radujte se, pravednici, u Jahvi, slavite sveto ime njegovo!
