Si Yahweh ang Kataas-taasang Hari

97 Si Yahweh ay naghahari, magalak ang buong mundo!
    Magsaya nama't magdiwang, lahat kayong mga pulo!
Ang paligid niya'y ulap na punô ng kadiliman,
    kaharian niya'y matuwid at salig sa katarungan.
Sa unahan niya'y apoy, patuloy na nag-aalab,
    sinusunog ang kaaway sa matindi nitong ningas.
Yaong mga kidlat niyang tumatanglaw sa daigdig,
    kapag iyon ay namasdan, ang lahat ay nanginginig.
Itong mga kabundukan ay madaling nalulusaw,
    sa presensya ni Yahweh, Diyos ng sandaigdigan.
Sa langit ay nahahayag nga ang kanyang katuwiran,
    sa lupa ay makikita ang kanyang kadakilaan.

Lahat silang sumasamba sa kanilang diyus-diyosan, mahihiya sa kanilang paghahambog na mainam.
    Mga diyos nilang ito ay yuyuko sa Maykapal.
Nagagalak itong Zion, mamamaya'y nagsasaya,
    nagagalak ang lahat ng mga lunsod nitong Juda,
    dahilan sa wastong hatol yaong gawad na parusa.
Ikaw, Yahweh, ay Dakila at hari ng buong lupa,
    dakila ka sa alinmang mga diyos na ginawa.

10 Mahal ni Yahweh ang lahat ng namumuhi sa masama,
    siya ang nag-iingat sa buhay ng mga lingkod niya;
    sa kamay ng mga buktot, tiyak na ililigtas niya.
11 Sa tapat ang pamumuhay ay sisinag ang liwayway,
    sa dalisay namang puso maghahari'y kagalakan.
12 Kayong mga matuwid, kay Yahweh ay magalak,
    sa banal niyang pangalan kayo'y magpasalamat.

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)

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.
