Psalms 97

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

耶和华作王！愿地快乐！ 愿众海岛欢喜！

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

密云和幽暗在他的四围； 公义和公平是他宝座的根基。

3 Fire goes before him, and blazes around his steps,

有烈火在他前头行， 烧灭他四围的敌人。

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

他的闪电光照世界， 大地看见便震动。

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

诸山见耶和华的面， 就是全地之主的面，便消化如蜡。

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

诸天表明他的公义； 万民看见他的荣耀。

7 Shamed are all image-worshippers, who make a boast of their idols. All the gods bow before him.

愿一切事奉雕刻的偶像、 靠虚无之神自夸的，都蒙羞愧。 万神哪，你们都当拜他。

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

耶和华啊，锡安听见你的判断就欢喜； 犹大的城邑也都快乐。

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

因为你—耶和华至高，超乎全地； 你被尊崇，远超万神之上。

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

你们爱耶和华的，都当恨恶罪恶； 他保护圣民的性命， 搭救他们脱离恶人的手。

11 Light arises for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.

散布亮光是为义人； 预备喜乐是为正直人。

12 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous: give thanks to his holy name.

你们义人当靠耶和华欢喜， 称谢他可记念的圣名。
