Psalm 97
1The Lord rules. Let the earth be glad.
Let countries that are far away be full of joy.
2Clouds and thick darkness surround him.
His rule is built on what is right and fair.
3The Lord sends fire ahead of him.
It burns up his enemies all around him.
4His lightning lights up the world.
The earth sees it and trembles.
5The mountains melt like wax when the Lord is near.
He is the Lord of the whole earth.
6The heavens announce that what he does is right.
All people everywhere see his glory.
7All who worship statues of gods or brag about them are put to shame.
All you gods, worship the Lord!
8Zion hears about it and is filled with joy.
Lord, the villages of Judah are glad
because of how you judge.
9Lord, you are the Most High God.
You rule over the whole earth.
You are honored much more than all gods.
10Let those who love the Lord hate evil.
He guards the lives of those who are faithful to him.
He saves them from the power of sinful people.
11Good things come to those who do what is right.
Joy comes to those whose hearts are honest.
12You who are godly, be glad because of what the Lord has done.
Praise him, because his name is holy.
第 97 篇
上帝是至高的統治者
1耶和華掌權，大地要歡欣！
眾海島要快樂！
2密雲和黑暗環繞在祂周圍，
公義和公平是祂寶座的根基。
3烈火做祂的先鋒，
燒滅祂周圍的仇敵。
4祂的閃電照亮世界，
大地因此而戰抖。
5在天下之主耶和華面前，
群山如蠟熔化。
6諸天述說祂的公義，
萬民瞻仰祂的榮耀。
7願一切祭拜神像，
以神像誇口的人都蒙羞。
所有的神明啊，
你們都要向耶和華下拜。
8耶和華啊，聽見你的審判，
錫安就歡喜，
猶大的城邑就快樂。
9因為你耶和華是普天下的至高者，
凌駕於萬神之上。
10愛耶和華的人都要憎恨罪惡，
因為祂保護敬虔人的生命，
從惡人手中拯救他們。
11光照亮義人，
正直人心中有喜樂。
12你們義人要以耶和華為樂，
稱謝祂的聖名。
