¡El Señor es Rey!

97 ¡Alégrese toda la tierra!
¡Alégrense las islas numerosas!
¡El Señor es Rey!
Está rodeado de espesas nubes;
la justicia y el derecho sostienen su trono;
el fuego va delante de él
y quema a los enemigos que lo rodean.
Sus relámpagos iluminan el mundo;
¡la tierra tiembla al verlos!
Las montañas se derriten como cera
ante el Señor, ante el dueño de toda la tierra.
Los cielos anuncian su justicia;
todos los pueblos ven su gloria.
Quedan humillados los que adoran ídolos,
los que se sienten orgullosos de ellos.
¡Todos los dioses se inclinan ante él!

Oh Señor,
Sión y las ciudades de Judá
se alegran mucho por tus decretos;
pues tú, Señor altísimo,
estás por encima de toda la tierra
y mucho más alto que todos los dioses.

10 El Señor ama a los que odian el mal;
protege la vida de los que le son fieles;
los libra de caer en manos de malvados.
11 La luz brilla para el hombre bueno;
la alegría es para la gente honrada.

12 ¡Alégrense en el Señor, hombres buenos,
y alaben su santo nombre!

Psalm 97

De Heer is Koning. Juich en jubel, aarde!
Eilanden, wees blij!
Om Hem heen zijn donkere wolken.
Hij heerst rechtvaardig en eerlijk.
Vuur gaat voor Hem uit
en vernietigt zijn vijanden.
Zijn bliksemstralen verlichten de wereld.
De aarde ziet het en beeft.
De bergen smelten weg als ze de Heer zien komen,
Hij, de Heerser van de hele aarde.
De hemel spreekt van zijn rechtvaardigheid.
Alle volken zien zijn hemelse macht en majesteit.
De mensen die beelden aanbidden en daarop vertrouwen,
zullen voor schut staan.
Alle goden moeten buigen voor Hem!
Jeruzalem is daar blij over.
De steden van Juda juichen wanneer U rechtspreekt.
Want U, Heer, bent de Allerhoogste God,
de Heer van de hele aarde, machtiger dan alle andere goden.

10 Als je van de Heer houdt, haat dan het kwaad.
Hij beschermt zijn vrienden.
Hij redt hen van de mensen die zich niets van Hem aantrekken.
11 De mensen die leven zoals Hij het wil,
hebben hoop en kunnen blij zijn.
12 Wees blij over wie de Heer is.
Prijs Hem!

Psalm 97

The Lord reigns,(A) let the earth be glad;(B)
    let the distant shores(C) rejoice.
Clouds(D) and thick darkness(E) surround him;
    righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.(F)
Fire(G) goes before(H) him
    and consumes(I) his foes on every side.
His lightning(J) lights up the world;
    the earth(K) sees and trembles.(L)
The mountains melt(M) like wax(N) before the Lord,
    before the Lord of all the earth.(O)
The heavens proclaim his righteousness,(P)
    and all peoples see his glory.(Q)

All who worship images(R) are put to shame,(S)
    those who boast in idols(T)
    worship him,(U) all you gods!(V)

Zion hears and rejoices
    and the villages of Judah are glad(W)
    because of your judgments,(X) Lord.
For you, Lord, are the Most High(Y) over all the earth;(Z)
    you are exalted(AA) far above all gods.
10 Let those who love the Lord hate evil,(AB)
    for he guards(AC) the lives of his faithful ones(AD)
    and delivers(AE) them from the hand of the wicked.(AF)
11 Light shines[a](AG) on the righteous(AH)
    and joy on the upright in heart.(AI)
12 Rejoice in the Lord,(AJ) you who are righteous,
    and praise his holy name.(AK)

  1. Psalm 97:11 One Hebrew manuscript and ancient versions (see also 112:4); most Hebrew manuscripts Light is sown

97 The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.

His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.

Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O Lord.

For thou, Lord, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.

10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

12 Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
