Psalms 97
1 Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.
Herren regerer! Jorden fryde sig, mange Øer glæde sig!
2 Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.
Sky og Mørke ere trindt omkring ham, Retfærdighed og Dom ere hans Trones Befæstning.
3 Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.
Ild gaar foran hans Ansigt og fortærer hans Fjender trindt omkring.
4 Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.
Hans Lyn oplyste Jorderige; Jorden saa det og bævede.
5 Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.
Bjergene smeltede som Voks for Herrens Ansigt, for hele Jordens Herres Ansigt.
6 The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.
Himlene kundgjorde hans Retfærdighed, og alle Folk saa hans Ære.
7 Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.
Beskæmmede skulle alle de vorde, som tjene et udskaaret Billede, de, som rose sig af Afguderne; tilbeder ham, alle Guder!
8 Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.
Zion hørte det og blev glad, og Judas Døtre frydede sig over dine Domme, Herre!
9 For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.
Thi du, Herre! er den Højeste over al Jorden, du er saare ophøjet over alle Guder.
10 Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.
I, som elske Herren! hader det onde; han bevarer sine helliges Sjæle, han frier dem af de ugudeliges Haand.
11 Light [is] sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart — joy.
Lys er saaet for den retfærdige og Glæde for de oprigtige i Hjertet.
12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
Glæder eder, I retfærdige i Herren, og priser hans hellige Ihukommelse!
