Mga Awit 97

1Ang Panginoon ay naghahari; magalak ang lupa; matuwa ang karamihan ng mga pulo. 2Mga ulap at kadiliman ay nasa palibot niya: katuwiran at kahatulan ay patibayin ng kaniyang luklukan. 3Apoy ay nagpapauna sa kaniya, at sinusunog ang kaniyang kaaway sa buong palibot. 4Tumatanglaw ang mga kidlat niya sa sanglibutan: nakita ng lupa, at niyanig. 5Ang mga bundok ay natunaw na parang pagkit sa harap ng Panginoon, sa harapan ng Panginoon ng buong lupa. 6Ipinahahayag ng langit ang kaniyang katuwiran, at nakita ng lahat na bayan ang kaniyang kaluwalhatian. 7Mangahiya silang lahat na nangaglilingkod sa mga larawan, nangaghahambog tungkol sa mga diosdiosan: kayo'y magsisamba sa kaniya kayong lahat na mga dios. 8Narinig ng Sion, at natuwa, at ang mga anak na babae ng Juda ay nangagalak; dahil sa iyong mga kahatulan, Oh Panginoon. 9Sapagka't ikaw, Oh Panginoon, ay kataastaasan sa buong lupa: ikaw ay nataas na totoong higit kay sa lahat na mga dios. 10Oh kayong nagsisiibig sa Panginoon, ipagtanim ninyo ang kasamaan. Kaniyang iniingatan ang mga kaluluwa ng kaniyang mga banal; kaniyang iniligtas sila sa kamay ng masama. 11Liwanag ang itinanim na ukol sa mga banal, at kasayahan ay sa may matuwid na puso. 12Mangatuwa kayo sa Panginoon, kayong mga matuwid; at mangagpasalamat sa kaniyang banal na pangalan.

1Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad! 2Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. 3A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side. 4His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles. 5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 6The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory. 7Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods! 8Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of your judgments, Yahweh. 9For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods. 10You who love Yahweh, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. 11Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 12Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.

1De HEERE regeert, de aarde verheuge zich; dat veel eilanden zich verblijden. 2Rondom Hem zijn wolken en donkerheid, gerechtigheid en gericht zijn de vastigheid Zijns troons. 3Een vuur gaat voor Zijn aangezicht heen, en het steekt Zijn wederpartijen rondom aan brand. 4Zijn bliksemen verlichten de wereld; het aardrijk ziet ze en het beeft. 5De bergen smelten als was voor het aanschijn des HEEREN, voor het aanschijn des HEEREN der ganse aarde. 6De hemelen verkondigen Zijn gerechtigheid, en alle volken zien Zijn eer. 7Beschaamd moeten wezen allen, die de beelden dienen, die zich op afgoden beroemen; buigt u neder voor Hem, alle gij goden! 8Sion heeft gehoord, en het heeft zich verblijd, en de dochteren van Juda hebben zich verheugd vanwege Uw oordelen, o HEERE! 9Want Gij, HEERE! zijt de Allerhoogste over de gehele aarde; Gij zijt zeer hoog verheven boven alle goden. 10Gij liefhebbers des HEEREN! haat het kwade; Hij bewaart de zielen Zijner gunstgenoten; Hij redt hen uit der goddelozen hand. 11Het licht is voor den rechtvaardige gezaaid, en vrolijkheid voor de oprechten van hart. 12Gij rechtvaardigen! verblijdt u in den HEERE, en spreekt lof ter gedachtenis Zijner heiligheid.
