Psalms 97

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

The Lord is king, let the earth rejoice: let her many isles be glad.

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

Clouds and darkness are round about him, justice and right are the base of his throne.

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

Fire goes before him, and blazes around his steps,

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

his lightnings illumine the world: the earth quakes at the sight.

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

Mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth.

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

The heavens proclaim his justice, all nations behold 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!

Shamed are all image-worshippers, who make a boast of their idols. All the gods bow before him.

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

Zion is glad at the tidings, the towns of Judah rejoice because of your judgments, Lord.

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

For you are most high over all the earth, greatly exalted 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.

The Lord loves those who hate evil, he guards the lives of the faithful: from the hand of the wicked he saves them.

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

Light arises for the righteous, and joy 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, you righteous: give thanks to his holy name.
