Psalms 97

1 The Lord reigneth: let the earth reioyce: let the multitude of the yles be glad.

耶和華作王！願地快樂！ 願眾海島歡喜！

2 Cloudes and darkenes are round about him: righteousnesse and iudgement are the foundation of his throne.

密雲和幽暗在他的四圍； 公義和公平是他寶座的根基。

3 There shall goe a fire before him, and burne vp his enemies round about.

有烈火在他前頭行， 燒滅他四圍的敵人。

4 His lightnings gaue light vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and was afraide.

他的閃電光照世界， 大地看見便震動。

5 The mountaines melted like waxe at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

諸山見耶和華的面， 就是全地之主的面，便消化如蠟。

6 The heauens declare his righteousnes, and all the people see his glory.

諸天表明他的公義； 萬民看見他的榮耀。

7 Confounded be all they that serue grauen images, and that glory in idoles: worship him all ye gods.

願一切事奉雕刻的偶像、 靠虛無之神自誇的，都蒙羞愧。 萬神哪，你們都當拜他。

8 Zion heard of it, and was glad: and the daughters of Iudah reioyced, because of thy iudgements, O Lord.

耶和華啊，錫安聽見你的判斷就歡喜； 猶大的城邑也都快樂。

9 For thou, Lord, art most High aboue all the earth: thou art much exalted aboue all gods.

因為你－耶和華至高，超乎全地； 你被尊崇，遠超萬神之上。

10 Ye that loue the Lord, hate euill: he preserueth the soules of his Saints: hee will deliuer them from the hand of the wicked.

你們愛耶和華的，都當恨惡罪惡； 他保護聖民的性命， 搭救他們脫離惡人的手。

11 Light is sowen for the righteous, and ioy for the vpright in heart.

散布亮光是為義人； 預備喜樂是為正直人。

12 Reioyce ye righteous in the Lord, and giue thankes for his holy remembrance.

你們義人當靠耶和華歡喜， 稱謝他可記念的聖名。
