Psalm 97
[97:1] Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad! [97:2] Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. [97:3] A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side. [97:4] His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles. [97:5] The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. [97:6] The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory. [97:7] Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods! [97:8] Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of your judgments, Yahweh. [97:9] For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods. [97:10] You who love Yahweh, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. [97:11] Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. [97:12] Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.
