Psalmi 97

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

This is to David, when his land was restored to him. The Lord has reigned, let the earth exult. Let the many islands rejoice.

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

Clouds and mist are all around him. Justice and judgment are corrections from his throne.

3 Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

A fire will precede him, and it will enflame his enemies all around.

4 Munje mu svijet osvjetljuju; zemlja to vidi i strepi.

His lightnings have enlightened the whole world. The earth saw, and it was shaken.

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

The mountains flowed like wax before the face of the Lord, before the face of the Lord of all the earth.

6 Nebesa navješćuju pravednost njegovu, svi narodi gledaju mu slavu.

The heavens announced his justice, and all peoples saw his glory.

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

May all those who adore graven images be confounded, along with those who glory in their false images. All you his Angels: Adore him.

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

Zion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Judah exulted because of your judgments, O Lord.

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

For you are the Most High Lord over all the earth. You are greatly exalted above all gods.

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

You who love the Lord: hate evil. The Lord watches over the souls of his holy ones. He will free them from the hand of the sinner.

11 Svjetlost sviće pravedniku i radost čestitima u srcu.

The light has risen for the just, and joy for the upright of heart.

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

Rejoice in the Lord, you just ones, and confess to the memory of his sanctuary.
