< Psalmi 97 >
1 Gospod kraljuje, naj se zemlja veseli, naj bo množica otokov vesela le-tega.
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 Oblaki in tema so okoli njega. Pravičnost in sodba sta prebivališče njegovega prestola.
Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
3 Ogenj gre pred njim in naokrog požiga njegove sovražnike.
A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about.
4 Njegovi bliski so razsvetlili zemeljski [krog]; zemlja je videla in trepetala.
His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled.
5 Hribi so se ob Gospodovi prisotnosti topili kakor vosek, ob prisotnosti Gospoda celotne zemlje.
The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 Nebesa oznanjujejo njegovo pravičnost in vsa ljudstva vidijo njegovo slavo.
The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.
7 Zbegani so vsi tisti, ki služijo rezanim podobam, ki se bahajo z maliki; obožujte ga, vsi vi bogovi.
Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:
8 Sion je slišal in je bil vesel in judovske hčere so se veselile zaradi tvojih sodb, oh Gospod.
Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord.
9 Kajti ti, Gospod, si dvignjen nad vso zemljo. Zelo si vzvišen nad vsemi bogovi.
For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.
10 Vi, ki ljubite Gospoda, sovražite zlo. On varuje duše svojih svetih; osvobaja jih iz roke zlobnega.
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 Svetloba je posejana za pravičnega in veselje za iskrenega v srcu.
Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart.
12 Veselite se v Gospodu, vi pravični in zahvaljujte se pri spominjanju njegove svetosti.
Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.
