Psalms 97

1 Yahweh, hath become king, Let the earth exult, Let the multitude of coastlands rejoice.

耶和華作王！願地快樂！ 願眾海島歡喜！

2 Clouds and thick darkness, are round about him, Righteousness and justice, are the establishing 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 Fire, before him, proceedeth, That it may consume, round about, his adversaries.

有烈火在他前頭行， 燒滅他四圍的敵人。

4 His lightnings, have illumined, the world, The earth, hath seen, and hath trembled;

他的閃電光照世界， 大地看見便震動。

5 The mountains, like wax, have melted, At the presence of Yahweh, At the presence, of the Lord of all the earth.

諸山見耶和華的面， 就是全地之主的面，便消化如蠟。

6 The heavens, have declared, his righteousness, —And all the peoples, have seen, his glory.

諸天表明他的公義； 萬民看見他的榮耀。

7 Let all who serve an image, be ashamed, They who boast themselves in things of nought, Bow down unto 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, hath heard and rejoiced, And the daughters of Judah, have exulted, Because of thy righteous decisions, O Yahweh:

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, Yahweh, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly hast thou exalted thyself above 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 lovers of Yahweh! be haters of wrong, —He preserveth the lives of his men of lovingkindness, From the hand of the lawless, will he rescue them.

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 sown for the righteous one, And, for the upright in heart, rejoicing:

散布亮光是為義人； 預備喜樂是為正直人。

12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Yahweh, And give ye thanks, at the mention of his holiness.

你們義人當靠耶和華歡喜， 稱謝他可記念的聖名。
