< Psalmi 97 >
1 Gospod kraljuje, naj se zemlja veseli, naj bo množica otokov vesela le-tega.
Yahweh reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad.
2 Oblaki in tema so okoli njega. Pravičnost in sodba sta prebivališče njegovega prestola.
Clouds and darkness surround him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Ogenj gre pred njim in naokrog požiga njegove sovražnike.
Fire goes before him and consumes 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 before Yahweh, the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Nebesa oznanjujejo njegovo pravičnost in vsa ljudstva vidijo njegovo slavo.
The skies declare his justice, and all the nations see his glory.
7 Zbegani so vsi tisti, ki služijo rezanim podobam, ki se bahajo z maliki; obožujte ga, vsi vi bogovi.
All those who worship carved figures will be shamed, those who boast in worthless idols— bow down to 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, and the towns of Judah rejoiced because of your righteous decrees, Yahweh.
9 Kajti ti, Gospod, si dvignjen nad vso zemljo. Zelo si vzvišen nad vsemi bogovi.
For you, Yahweh, 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 Yahweh, hate evil! He protects the lives of his saints, and he takes 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 those with honest hearts.
12 Veselite se v Gospodu, vi pravični in zahvaljujte se pri spominjanju njegove svetosti.
Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous; and give thanks when you remember his holiness.
