Mazmur 97

1 TUHAN adalah Raja! Hendaklah bumi bergembira, dan pulau-pulau bersukacita.

The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.

2 Ia dikelilingi awan dan kegelapan; keadilan dan hukum adalah azas pemerintahan-Nya.

Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.

3 Api menjalar di hadapan-Nya, menghanguskan musuh di sekeliling-Nya.

Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.

4 Kilatnya menerangi dunia, bumi gemetar melihat-Nya.

His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.

5 Gunung-gunung meleleh seperti lilin di hadapan TUHAN, di hadapan TUHAN, penguasa seluruh bumi.

The mountains became like wax at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the Lord of all the earth.

6 Langit mewartakan keadilan-Nya, dan semua bangsa melihat kemuliaan-Nya.

The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw his glory.

7 Semua orang yang menyembah berhala akan dipermalukan, yang membanggakan barang-barang yang tidak berguna; semua dewa akan sujud di hadapan TUHAN.

Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.

8 Penduduk Sion dan kota-kota Yehuda senang ketika mendengar keputusan TUHAN.

Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.

9 Sebab Engkau, ya TUHAN, penguasa seluruh bumi; Engkau agung melebihi segala dewa.

For you, Lord, are most high over the earth; you are lifted up over all other gods.

10 Hai kamu yang mencintai TUHAN, bencilah kejahatan! Sebab TUHAN melindungi hidup umat-Nya, Ia membebaskan mereka dari kuasa orang durhaka.

You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.

11 Terang sudah terbit bagi orang yang tulus hati, dan sukacita untuk orang yang jujur.

Light is shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.

12 Bergembiralah, hai orang-orang yang tulus hati karena apa yang telah dilakukan TUHAN, dan bersyukurlah kepada Allah yang suci.

Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.
