Psalmi 97

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

The Lord is king, let the earth rejoice: let her many isles be glad.

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

Clouds and darkness are round about him, justice and right are the base of his throne.

3 Oganj ide pred njim i sažiže okolo dušmane njegove.

Fire goes before him, and blazes around his steps,

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

his lightnings illumine the world: the earth quakes at the sight.

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

Mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth.

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

The heavens proclaim his justice, all nations behold his glory.

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

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

Zion is glad at the tidings, the towns of Judah rejoice because of your judgments, Lord.

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

For you are most high over all the earth, greatly exalted above all gods.

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

The Lord loves those who hate evil, he guards the lives of the faithful: from the hand of the wicked he saves them.
