Psalms 97

1 Olúwa jẹ ọba, jẹ́ kí ayé kí ó yọ̀ jẹ́ kí inú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ erékùṣù kí ó dùn.

THE Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

2 Ojú ọ̀run àti òkùnkùn yíká òdodo àti ìdájọ́ ni ó ṣe ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ìtẹ́ rẹ̀.

Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

3 Iná ń jó níwájú rẹ̀. Ó sì ń jó àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀ yíkákiri.

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

4 Ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ tàn ó sì kárí ayé ayé rí i ó sì wárìrì.

His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

5 Òkè gíga yọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìda níwájú Olúwa, níwájú Olúwa gbogbo ayé.

The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 Àwọn ọ̀run ròyìn òdodo rẹ̀, gbogbo ènìyàn sì rí ògo rẹ̀.

The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

7 Gbogbo àwọn tí ń sin ère fínfín ni ojú yóò tì, àwọn tí ń fi ère gbéraga, ẹ máa sìn ín, gbogbo ẹ̀yin ọlọ́run!

Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.

8 Sioni gbọ́, inú rẹ̀ sì dùn inú àwọn ilé Juda sì dùn, nítorí ìdájọ́ rẹ, Olúwa.

Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O Lord.

9 Nítorí pé ìwọ, Olúwa, ni ó ga ju gbogbo ayé lọ ìwọ ni ó ga ju gbogbo òrìṣà lọ.

For thou, Lord, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.

10 Jẹ kí gbogbo àwọn tí ó fẹ́ Olúwa, kórìíra ibi, ó pa ọkàn àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ rẹ̀ mọ́ ó gbà wọ́n ní ọwọ́ àwọn ènìyàn búburú.

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

11 Ìmọ́lẹ̀ tàn sórí àwọn olódodo àti ayọ̀ nínú àlàyé ọkàn.

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

12 Ẹ yọ̀ nínú Olúwa, ẹ̀yin tí ẹ jẹ́ olódodo, kí ẹ sì yin orúkọ rẹ̀ mímọ́.

Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
