Mazmur 97

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

The Lord reigns! Let the earth be glad, and distant lands be full of joy!

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

He is surrounded by clouds and thick darkness; his throne is founded on justice and right.

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

Flames proceed him, burning up his enemies on every side.

4 Kilatnya menerangi dunia, bumi gemetar melihat-Nya.

His flashes of lightning light up the world; the earth watches and trembles.

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

The mountains melt like wax in the presence of the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.

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

The heavens proclaim his goodness; everyone sees his glory.

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

All those who worship idols are humiliated, those who are proud of their idols—for all “gods” bow down before him.

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

Jerusalem hears this and celebrates; all the towns of Judah are happy because of your judgments, Lord.

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

For you, Lord, are the highest of all, ruling over the whole earth; your position is far above any other god.

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

You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of those who are faithful to him, and saves them from the power of wicked people.

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

Light shines on those who do good, giving joy to those who live right.

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

Be happy in the Lord, you who do right, and thank him for his holy nature!
