Psalmi 97

1 Gospod kraljuje, naj se zemlja veseli, naj bo množica otokov vesela le-tega.

The LORD reigns. Let the earth rejoice. Let the multitude of islands be glad.

2 Oblaki in tema so okoli njega. Pravičnost in sodba sta prebivališče njegovega prestola.

Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

3 Ogenj gre pred njim in naokrog požiga njegove sovražnike.

A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.

4 Njegovi bliski so razsvetlili zemeljski [krog]; zemlja je videla in trepetala.

His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.

5 Hribi so se ob Gospodovi prisotnosti topili kakor vosek, ob prisotnosti Gospoda celotne zemlje.

The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 Nebesa oznanjujejo njegovo pravičnost in vsa ljudstva vidijo njegovo slavo.

The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.

7 Zbegani so vsi tisti, ki služijo rezanim podobam, ki se bahajo z maliki; obožujte ga, vsi vi bogovi.

Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods.

8 Sion je slišal in je bil vesel in judovske hčere so se veselile zaradi tvojih sodb, oh Gospod.

Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of your judgments, LORD.

9 Kajti ti, Gospod, si dvignjen nad vso zemljo. Zelo si vzvišen nad vsemi bogovi.

For you, LORD, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.

10 Vi, ki ljubite Gospoda, sovražite zlo. On varuje duše svojih svetih; osvobaja jih iz roke zlobnega.

You who love the LORD, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his faithful ones. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

11 Svetloba je posejana za pravičnega in veselje za iskrenega v srcu.

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

12 Veselite se v Gospodu, vi pravični in zahvaljujte se pri spominjanju njegove svetosti.

Be glad in the LORD, you righteous people. Give thanks to his holy Name.
