Psalms 97

1 Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!

Gospod kraljuje, radúj se zemlja, veselé se naj pokrajine premnoge.

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

Oblaki in temà ga obdajajo; pravica in sodba kraj njegovega prestola.

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

Ogenj hodi pred njim in požiga okrog sovražnike njegove.

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

Bliski razsvetljujejo vesoljni svet njegov, vidi in trese se zemlja.

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

Goré se topé kakor vosek vpričo Gospoda, vpričo vse zemlje gospodarja.

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

Nebesa oznanjajo pravico njegovo; tako da vidijo vsa ljudstva čast njegovo.

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

Osramoté se naj vsi, ki se ponašajo z maliki; klanjajo naj se mu vsi angeli.

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

Čuje in veseli se naj Sijon, in radujejo se hčere Judovske, zavoljo sodeb tvojih, Gospod.

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

Ti namreč si Gospod, vzvišen nad vso zemljo; silno povišan si nad vse angele.

10 You who love Yahweh, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

Kateri ljubite Gospoda, sovražite húdo; duše svojih, katerim izkazuje milost, hrani, iz rok krivičnih jih otima.

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

Luč se je rodila pravičnemu, in poštenim v srci radost.

12 Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.

Veselite se, pravični v Gospodu, in slavite spomin svetosti njegove.
