Psalm 97

 ^97:1Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice.
      Let the multitude of islands be glad.

 ^97:2Clouds and darkness are around him.
      Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

 ^97:3A fire goes before him,
      And burns up his adversaries on every side.

 ^97:4His lightning lights up the world;
      The earth sees, and trembles.

 ^97:5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh,
      At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

 ^97:6The heavens declare his righteousness.
      All the peoples have seen his glory.

 ^97:7Let all them be put to shame who serve engraved images,
      Who boast in their idols.
      Worship him, all you gods!

 ^97:8Zion heard and was glad.
      The daughters of Judah rejoiced,
      Because of your judgments, Yahweh.

 ^97:9For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth.
      You are exalted far above all gods.

 ^97:10You who love Yahweh, hate evil.
      He preserves the souls of his saints.
      He delivers 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 Yahweh, you righteous people!
      Give thanks to his holy Name.
