Psalmi 97

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

YHWH has reigned, The earth is joyful, many islands rejoice.

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

Cloud and darkness [are] around Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

3 Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

Fire goes before Him, And burns around His adversaries.

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

His lightnings have lightened the world, The earth has seen, and is pained.

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

Hills, like wax, melted before YHWH, Before the Lord of all the earth.

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

The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.

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

All servants of a carved image are ashamed, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to Him, all you gods.

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

Zion has heard and rejoices, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Your judgments, O YHWH.

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

For You, YHWH, [are] Most High over all the earth, You have been exalted greatly over all gods.

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

You who love YHWH, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11 Svjetlost sviće pravedniku i radost čestitima u srcu.

Light [is] sown for the righteous, And joy for the upright of heart.

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

Rejoice, you righteous, in YHWH, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness!
