Psalms 97

1 The LORD reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!

‌ʻOku pule ʻa Sihova; tuku ke fiefia ʻa māmani; pea nekeneka ʻae ngaahi ʻotu motu.

2 Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

‌ʻOku takatakai ia ʻe he ngaahi ʻao mo e fakapoʻuli: ko e angatonu mo e fakamaau ko e tuʻunga ia ʻo hono ʻafioʻanga.

3 A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.

‌ʻOku muʻomuʻa ʻae afi ʻiate ia, pea vela ke ʻosi hono ngaahi fili ʻoku takatakai.

4 His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.

Naʻe fakamaama ʻaki ʻa māmani ʻa hono ngaahi ʻuhila: naʻe mamata ʻae fonua, pea tetetete.

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

Naʻe vela ʻo vai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻo hangē ko e pulu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki ʻo māmani kotoa pē.

6 The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.

‌ʻOku fakahā ʻe he ngaahi langi ʻene māʻoniʻoni, pea mamata ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki hono nāunau.

7 Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!

Ke puputuʻu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nau tauhi ʻae ngaahi fakatātā kuo tā, mo nau polepole ʻi he ngaahi tamapua: lotu kiate ia, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi ʻotua.

8 Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, LORD.

Naʻe fanongo ʻa Saione, pea fiefia ai pea naʻe fiefia ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Siuta, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau, ʻE Sihova.

9 For you, LORD, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.

He ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke māʻolunga hake ki māmani kotoa pē: ʻoku ke māʻolunga lahi ʻaupito ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē.

10 You who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

‌ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku ʻofa kia Sihova, mou fehiʻa ki he kovi: ʻoku fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻae laumālie ʻo ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni; ʻoku ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻoe kau angahala.

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

Kuo tūtuuʻi ʻae maama maʻae māʻoniʻoni, mo e fiefia maʻae angatonu ʻi loto.

12 Be glad in the LORD, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.

Mou fiefia ʻia Sihova ʻae kau angatonu; pea fakafetaʻi ʻi he manatu ki heʻene māʻoniʻoni.
