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).

Psalm 97
1The Lord rules as king.
Let the earth rejoice.
Let all the islands be joyful.
2Clouds and darkness surround him.
Righteousness and justice are the foundations of his throne.
3Fire spreads ahead of him.
It burns his enemies who surround him.
4His flashes of lightning light up the world.
The earth sees them and trembles.
5The mountains melt like wax in the presence of the Lord,
in the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6The heavens tell about his righteousness,
and all the people of the world see his glory.
7Everyone who worships idols
and brags about false gods will be put to shame.
All the gods will bow to him.
8Zion hears about this and rejoices.
The people of Judah are delighted with your judgments, O Lord.
9You, O Lord, the Most High, are above the whole earth.
You are highest. You are above all the gods.
10Let those who love the Lord hate evil.
The one who guards the lives of his godly ones
will rescue them from the power of wicked people.
11Light dawns for righteous people #97:11 One Hebrew manuscript, Greek, Syriac, Latin; other Hebrew manuscripts “Light is planted for righteous people.”
and joy for those whose motives are decent.
12Find joy in the Lord, you righteous people.
Give thanks to him as you remember how holy he is.
