ਜ਼ਬੂਰ 97
Yahweh is the king! I want [everyone on] the earth to be glad/happy, and the [people who live on] the islands in the oceans to [also] rejoice [about that!]
There are very dark clouds around him [to hide him]; he rules [MTY] righteously/justly and fairly.
He [sends] fire in front of him, and he completely burns all his enemies in that fire.
All around the world he causes lightning to flash; [people on] the earth see it, and it causes them to [be afraid and] tremble.
The mountains/hills melt like wax in front of Yahweh, the one who is the Lord, [who rules] over all the earth.
The [angels in] [MTY] heaven proclaim that he acts righteously, and all the people-groups see his glory.
7 ੭ ਉੱਕਰੀਆਂ ਹੋਈਆਂ ਮੂਰਤਾਂ ਦੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਪੁਜਾਰੀ, ਜਿਹੜੇ ਬੁੱਤਾਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਫੁੱਲਦੇ ਹਨ ਸ਼ਰਮਿੰਦੇ ਹੋਣ, ਸਾਰੇ ਦੇਵਤੇ ਉਹ ਨੂੰ ਮੱਥਾ ਟੇਕਣ!
Everyone who worships idols should be ashamed; all those who are proud of their false gods [should realize that their gods are useless], [It is as though] all those gods bow down [to worship] Yahweh.
8 ੮ ਹੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਤੇਰਿਆਂ ਨਿਆਂਵਾਂ ਦੇ ਕਾਰਨ, ਸੀਯੋਨ ਨੇ ਸੁਣਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਅਨੰਦ ਹੋਇਆ, ਅਤੇ ਯਹੂਦਾਹ ਦੀਆਂ ਧੀਆਂ ਨੇ ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਮਨਾਈ।
[The people] [MTY] of Jerusalem hear [about Yahweh] and are glad/happy, and [people in the other] [MTY] cities in Judah [also] rejoice, because Yahweh judges [and punishes wicked people].
Yahweh is the supreme [king] over all the earth; he has very great power, and all the [other] gods have no power at all.
10 ੧੦ ਹੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੇ ਪ੍ਰੇਮੀਓ, ਬੁਰਿਆਈ ਤੋਂ ਘਿਣ ਕਰੋ! ਉਹ ਆਪਣੇ ਸੰਤਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਜਾਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦੁਸ਼ਟਾਂ ਦੇ ਹੱਥੋਂ ਛੁਡਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ।
Yahweh loves those who hate what [people do that] is evil; he protects the lives of his people, and he rescues them when the wicked [people try to harm them].
His light shines on righteous [people]; he causes those who are righteous to rejoice.
You righteous [people], rejoice about what Yahweh [has done], and thank him, our holy God!
