Psalms 97

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

Jahve kraljuje: neka kliče zemlja, nek' se vesele otoci mnogi!

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

Oblak i tama ovijaju njega, pravda i pravo temelji su prijestolja njegova.

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

Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

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

Munje mu svijet osvjetljuju; zemlja to vidi i strepi.

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

Brda se tope pred Jahvom k'o vosak, pred vladarom zemlje sve.

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

Nebesa navješćuju pravednost njegovu, svi narodi gledaju mu slavu.

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

Nek' se postide svi što likove štuju i koji se hvale kumirima. Poklonite mu se, svi bozi!

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

Sion radostan sluša, gradovi Judini kliču zbog tvojih sudova, o Jahve!

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

Jer ti si, o Jahve, Svevišnji - nad svom zemljom, visoko, visoko nad bozima svima.

10 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.

Jahve ljubi one koji mrze na zlo, on čuva duše pobožnika svojih, izbavlja ih iz ruku opakih.

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

Svjetlost sviće pravedniku i radost čestitima u srcu.

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

Radujte se, pravednici, u Jahvi, slavite sveto ime njegovo!
