Psalmi 97

1 Gospod caruje: nek se raduje zemlja! nek se vesele ostrva mnoga.

The Lord reigneth: let the earth be glad; let the multitude of isles rejoice.

2 Oblak je i mrak oko njega; blagost i pravda podnožje prijestolu njegovu.

Clouds and thick darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the support of his throne.

3 Oganj pred njim ide, i pali naokolo neprijatelje njegove.

A fire goeth before him, and burneth up round about his adversaries.

4 Munje njegove sijevaju po vasiljenoj; vidi i strepi zemlja.

His lightnings give light to the world: the earth seeth it, and trembleth.

5 Gore kao vosak tope se od lica Gospodnjega, od lica Gospoda svoj zemlji.

The mountains melt away like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

6 Nebesa kazuju pravdu njegovu, i svi narodi vide slavu njegovu.

The heavens tell of his righteousness, and all the people his glory.

7 Nek se stide svi koji se klanjaju kipovima, koji se hvale idolima svojim. Poklonite mu se svi bogovi.

Made ashamed shall be all that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: unto him bow down all the gods.

8 Èuje i raduje se Sion, i kæeri se Judejske vesele radi sudova tvojih, Gospode!

Zion heareth it, and rejoiceth; and glad are the daughters of Judah, because of thy decrees, O Lord.

9 Jer si ti, Gospode, visok nad svom zemljom i nadvišuješ sve bogove.

For thou, O Lord, art the most high above all the earth: thou art greatly exalted above all gods.

10 Koji ljubite Gospoda, mrzite na zlo. On èuva duše svetaca svojih; iz ruku bezbožnièkih otima ih.

Ye that love the Lord, hate ye the evil: he preserveth the souls of his pious ones; out of the hand of the wicked he ever delivereth them.

11 Svjetlost se prosipa na pravednika, i veselje na one koji su prava srca.

Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.

12 Radujte se pravedni o Gospodu, i slavite sveto ime njegovo.

Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord, and give thanks to his holy memorial.
