Psalms 97

1 The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.

¡Yavé reina! ¡Regocíjese la tierra! ¡Alégrese la multitud de islas!

2 Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.

Nubes y densa oscuridad lo rodean. Justicia y equidad son el fundamento de su trono.

3 Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.

Fuego avanza delante de Él Que quema alrededor a sus adversarios.

4 His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.

Sus relámpagos iluminan el orbe. La tierra mira y se estremece.

5 The mountains became like wax at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the Lord of all the earth.

Ante la presencia de Yavé Las montañas se derriten como cera, Ante la presencia del ʼAdonay de toda la tierra.

6 The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw his glory.

Los cielos declaran su justicia, Y todos los pueblos ven su gloria.

7 Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.

Sean avergonzados Todos los que sirven a imágenes talladas, Quienes se jactan de ídolos. Póstrense ante Él todos los ʼelohim.

8 Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.

Oyó Sion y se alegró, Y las hijas de Judá se regocijaron A causa de tus juicios, oh Yavé.

9 For you, Lord, are most high over the earth; you are lifted up over all other gods.

Porque Tú, oh Yavé, eres ʼElyón sobre toda la tierra. Tú eres exaltado por encima de todos los ʼelohim.

10 You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.

Aborrezcan el mal ustedes los que aman a Yavé, Quien preserva las almas de sus santos. ʼEL los libra de la mano de los perversos.

11 Light is shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.

Luz hay sembrada para el justo, Y alegría para los rectos de corazón.

12 Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.

Alégrense ustedes, los justos, en Yavé, Y den gracias a la memoria de su santo Nombre.
