< Mazmur 97 >
1 TUHAN adalah Raja! Biarlah bumi bersorak-sorak, biarlah banyak pulau bersukacita!
For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.
2 Awan dan kekelaman ada sekeliling Dia, keadilan dan hukum adalah tumpuan takhta-Nya.
Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
3 Api menjalar di hadapan-Nya, dan menghanguskan para lawan-Nya sekeliling.
A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about.
4 Kilat-kilat-Nya menerangi dunia, bumi melihatnya dan gemetar.
His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled.
5 Gunung-gunung luluh seperti lilin di hadapan TUHAN, di hadapan Tuhan seluruh bumi.
The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 Langit memberitakan keadilan-Nya, dan segala bangsa melihat kemuliaan-Nya.
The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.
7 Semua orang yang beribadah kepada patung akan mendapat malu, orang yang memegahkan diri karena berhala-berhala; segala allah sujud menyembah kepada-Nya.
Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:
8 Sion mendengarnya dan bersukacita, puteri-puteri Yehuda bersorak-sorak, oleh karena penghukuman-Mu, ya TUHAN.
Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord.
9 Sebab Engkaulah, ya TUHAN, Yang Mahatinggi di atas seluruh bumi, Engkau sangat dimuliakan di atas segala allah.
For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.
10 Hai orang-orang yang mengasihi TUHAN, bencilah kejahatan! Dia, yang memelihara nyawa orang-orang yang dikasihi-Nya, akan melepaskan mereka dari tangan orang-orang fasik.
You that love the Lord, hate evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner.
11 Terang sudah terbit bagi orang benar, dan sukacita bagi orang-orang yang tulus hati.
Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart.
12 Bersukacitalah karena TUHAN, hai orang-orang benar, dan nyanyikanlah syukur bagi nama-Nya yang kudus.
Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.
