The Psalms

Psalm 97

 ^97:1Jehovah reigneth; let the earth rejoice;

 Let the multitude of isles be glad.

 ^97:2Clouds and darkness are round about him:

 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

 ^97:3A fire goeth before him,

 And burneth up his adversaries round about.

 ^97:4His lightnings lightened the world:

 The earth saw, and trembled.

 ^97:5The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah,

 At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

 ^97:6The heavens declare his righteousness,

 And all the peoples have seen his glory.

 ^97:7Let all them be put to shame that serve graven images,

 That boast themselves of idols:

 Worship him, all ye gods.

 ^97:8Zion heard and was glad,

 And the daughters of Judah rejoiced,

 Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.

 ^97:9For thou, Jehovah, art most high above all the earth:

 Thou art exalted far above all gods.

 ^97:10O ye that love Jehovah, hate evil:

 He preserveth the souls of his saints;

 He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

 ^97:11Light is sown for the righteous,

 And gladness for the upright in heart.

 ^97:12Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous;

 And give thanks to his holy memorial name.
