Chapter 97

¹The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; Let the many islands be glad.

¹耶和華作王！願地快樂！願眾海島歡喜！

²Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

²密雲和幽暗在他的四圍；公義和公平是他寶座的根基。

³Fire goes before Him And burns up His adversaries round about.

³有烈火在他前頭行，燒滅他四圍的敵人。

⁴His lightnings lit up the world; The earth saw and trembled.

⁴他的閃電光照世界，大地看見便震動。

⁵The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

⁵諸山見耶和華的面，就是全地之主的面，便消化如蠟。

⁶The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.

⁶諸天表明他的公義；萬民看見他的榮耀。

⁷Let all those be ashamed who serve graven images, Who boast themselves of idols; Worship Him, all you gods.

⁷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。

⁸Zion heard [this] and was glad, And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced Because of Your judgments, O LORD.

⁸耶和華啊，錫安聽見你的判斷就歡喜；猶大的城邑（原文是女子）也都快樂。

⁹For You are the LORD Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

⁹因為你─耶和華至高，超乎全地；你被尊崇，遠超萬神之上。

¹⁰Hate evil, you who love the LORD, Who preserves the souls of His godly ones; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

¹⁰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。

¹¹Light is sown [like seed] for the righteous And gladness for the upright in heart.

¹¹散布亮光是為義人；預備喜樂是為正直人。

¹²Be glad in the LORD, you righteous ones, And give thanks to His holy name.

¹²你們義人當靠耶和華歡喜，稱謝他可記念的聖名。
