 神是满有公义与权能的王

97 耶和华作王,愿地快乐,

愿众海岛都欢喜。

密云和幽暗在他的四围,

公义和公正是他宝座的根基。

有火走在他的前面,

烧尽他四围的敌人。

他的闪电照亮世界,

大地看见了就战栗。

在耶和华面前,就是在全地的主面前,

群山都像蜡一般融化。

诸天传扬他的公义,

万民得见他的荣耀。

愿所有事奉雕刻的偶像的,

以虚无的偶像为夸口的,都蒙羞;

众神哪!你们都要拜他。

耶和华啊!锡安听见你的判断就欢喜,

犹大的各城(“各城”原文作“女子”)也都快乐。

耶和华啊!因为你是全地的至高者;

你被尊崇,远超过众神之上。

10 你们爱耶和华的,都要恨恶罪恶;

耶和华保护圣民的性命,

救他们脱离恶人的手。

11 有亮光照耀(“照耀”有古抄本作“散播”)义人,

心里正直的人得享喜乐。

12 义人哪!你们要靠耶和华欢喜,

要称赞他的圣名。

A Song of Praise to the Sovereign Lord

97 The Lord (A)reigns;
Let the earth rejoice;
Let the multitude of [a]isles be glad!

(B)Clouds and darkness surround Him;
(C)Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
(D)A fire goes before Him,
And burns up His enemies round about.
(E)His lightnings light the world;
The earth sees and trembles.
(F)The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
(G)The heavens declare His righteousness,
And all the peoples see His glory.

(H)Let all be put to shame who serve carved images,
Who boast of idols.
(I)Worship Him, all you gods.
Zion hears and is glad,
And the daughters of Judah rejoice
Because of Your judgments, O Lord.
For You, Lord, are (J)most high above all the earth;
(K)You are exalted far above all gods.

10 You who love the Lord, (L)hate evil!
(M)He preserves the souls of His saints;
(N)He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 (O)Light is sown for the righteous,
And gladness for the upright in heart.
12 (P)Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous,
(Q)And give thanks [b]at the remembrance of [c]His holy name.

Exalted Above All Gods

Psalm 97

Adonai reigns, let the earth rejoice,
let the many islands be glad.
Clouds and darkness are all around Him.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
Fire goes before Him
and burns up His adversaries on every side.
His lightning lights up the world—
the earth sees and trembles.
The mountains melt like wax
at the presence of Adonai,
at the presence of the Lord of all earth.
The heavens declare His righteousness,
and all the peoples have seen His glory.
Let all who serve graven images be ashamed—who boast in idols.
Bow down before Him, all you gods!
Zion hears and is glad,
and the daughters of Judah rejoice,
because of Your judgments, Adonai.
For You, Adonai, are Elyon above all the earth.
You are exalted far above all gods.

10 You who love Adonai, hate evil!
He watches over the souls of His godly ones.
He delivers 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 Adonai, you righteous ones,
and praise His holy Name.
