诗篇 97

1 耶和华作王！愿地快乐！ 愿众海岛欢喜！

Yahweh reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad.

2 密云和幽暗在他的四围； 公义和公平是他宝座的根基。

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

3 有烈火在他前头行， 烧灭他四围的敌人。

Fire goes before him and consumes his adversaries on every side.

4 他的闪电光照世界， 大地看见便震动。

His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.

5 诸山见耶和华的面， 就是全地之主的面，便消化如蜡。

The mountains melt like wax before Yahweh, the Lord of the whole earth.

6 诸天表明他的公义； 万民看见他的荣耀。

The skies declare his justice, and all the nations see his glory.

7 愿一切事奉雕刻的偶像、 靠虚无之神自夸的，都蒙羞愧。 万神哪，你们都当拜他。

All those who worship carved figures will be shamed, those who boast in worthless idols— bow down to him, all you gods!

8 耶和华啊，锡安听见你的判断就欢喜； 犹大的城邑也都快乐。

Zion heard and was glad, and the towns of Judah rejoiced because of your righteous decrees, Yahweh.

9 因为你—耶和华至高，超乎全地； 你被尊崇，远超万神之上。

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

10 你们爱耶和华的，都当恨恶罪恶； 他保护圣民的性命， 搭救他们脱离恶人的手。

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 散布亮光是为义人； 预备喜乐是为正直人。

Light is sown for the righteous and gladness for those with honest hearts.

12 你们义人当靠耶和华欢喜， 称谢他可记念的圣名。

Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous; and give thanks when you remember his holiness.
