Psalms 97
97
A Hymn About the Lord’s Power
1The Lord is king. Let the earth rejoice;
faraway lands should be glad.
2Thick, dark clouds surround him.
His kingdom is built on what is right and fair.
3A fire goes before him
and burns up his enemies all around.
4His lightning lights up the world;
when the people see it, they tremble.
5The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
before the Lord of all the earth.
6The heavens tell about his goodness,
and all the people see his glory.
7Those who worship idols should be ashamed;
they brag about their gods.
All the gods should worship the Lord.
8When Jerusalem hears this, she is glad,
and the towns of Judah rejoice.
They are happy because of your judgments, Lord.
9You are the Lord Most High over all the earth;
you are supreme over all gods.
10People who love the Lord hate evil.
The Lord watches over those who follow him
and frees them from the power of the wicked.
11Light shines on those who do right;
joy belongs to those who are honest.
12Rejoice in the Lord, you who do right.
Praise his holy name.

Psalms 97
97
1Jehovah reigneth; let the earth rejoice;
Let the multitude of isles be glad.
2Clouds and darkness are round about him:
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3A fire goeth before him,
And burneth up his adversaries round about.
4His lightnings lightened the world:
The earth saw, and trembled.
5The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah,
At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6The heavens declare his righteousness,
And all the peoples have seen his glory.
7Let all them be put to shame that serve graven images,
That boast themselves of idols:
Worship him, all ye gods.
8Zion heard and was glad,
And the daughters of Judah rejoiced,
Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.
9For thou, Jehovah, art most high above all the earth:
Thou art exalted far above all gods.
10O ye that love Jehovah, hate evil:
He preserveth the souls of his saints;
He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11Light is sown for the righteous,
And gladness for the upright in heart.
12Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous;
And give thanks to his holy memorial name.
