Tehillim 97
97
1 Hashem reigneth; let ha'aretz rejoice; let the multitude of isles thereof be glad.
2Anan and darkness are round about Him; tzedek and mishpat are the foundation of His kisse.
3Eish goeth before Him, and burneth up His enemies on every side.
4His lightnings light up the tevel; ha'aretz saw, and trembled.
5The harim melted like wax at the presence of Hashem, at the presence of Adon kol HaAretz.
6HaShomayim declare His tzedek, and kol ha'amim see His kavod.
7Shamed be all they that serve pesel, that boast themselves of elilim; worship Him, kol elohim.
8Tziyon heard, and was glad; and the banot Yehudah rejoiced because of Thy mishpatim, Hashem.
9For Thou, Hashem, art Elyon above kol ha'aretz; Thou art exalted far above kol elohim.
10Ye that love Hashem, hate rah; He preserveth the nefashot of His chasidim; He delivereth them out of the yad resha'im.
11Ohr dawns for the tzaddik, and simchah for the yishrei lev (upright in heart).
12Rejoice in Hashem, ye tzaddikim; and give thanks at the remembrance of His kodesh (holiness).
