< Psalmi 97 >

1 Gospod caruje: nek se raduje zemlja! nek se vesele ostrva mnoga.
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!]
2 Oblak je i mrak oko njega; blagost i pravda podnožje prijestolu njegovu.
There are very dark clouds around him [to hide him]; he rules [MTY] righteously/justly and fairly.
3 Oganj pred njim ide, i pali naokolo neprijatelje njegove.
He [sends] fire in front of him, and he completely burns all his enemies in that fire.
4 Munje njegove sijevaju po vasiljenoj; vidi i strepi zemlja.
All around the world he causes lightning to flash; [people on] the earth see it, and it causes them to [be afraid and] tremble.
5 Gore kao vosak tope se od lica Gospodnjega, od lica Gospoda svoj zemlji.
The mountains/hills melt like wax in front of Yahweh, the one who is the Lord, [who rules] over all the earth.
6 Nebesa kazuju pravdu njegovu, i svi narodi vide slavu njegovu.
The [angels in] [MTY] heaven proclaim that he acts righteously, and all the people-groups see his glory.
7 Nek se stide svi koji se klanjaju kipovima, koji se hvale idolima svojim. Poklonite mu se svi bogovi.
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 Èuje i raduje se Sion, i kæeri se Judejske vesele radi sudova tvojih, Gospode!
[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].
9 Jer si ti, Gospode, visok nad svom zemljom i nadvišuješ sve bogove.
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 Koji ljubite Gospoda, mrzite na zlo. On èuva duše svetaca svojih; iz ruku bezbožnièkih otima ih.
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].
11 Svjetlost se prosipa na pravednika, i veselje na one koji su prava srca.
His light shines on righteous [people]; he causes those who are righteous to rejoice.
12 Radujte se pravedni o Gospodu, i slavite sveto ime njegovo.
You righteous [people], rejoice about what Yahweh [has done], and thank him, our holy God!
