Psalms 97
97
1The Lord reigns! Let the earth be glad, and distant lands be full of joy!
2He is surrounded by clouds and thick darkness; his throne is founded on justice and right.
3Flames proceed him, burning up his enemies on every side.
4His flashes of lightning light up the world; the earth watches and trembles.
5The mountains melt like wax in the presence of the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.
6The heavens proclaim his goodness; everyone sees his glory.
7All those who worship idols are humiliated, those who are proud of their idols—for all “gods” bow down before him.
8Jerusalem hears this and celebrates; all the towns of Judah are happy because of your judgments, Lord.
9For you, Lord, are the highest of all, ruling over the whole earth; your position is far above any other god.
10You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of those who are faithful to him, and saves them from the power of wicked people.
11Light shines#97:11. Or “is sown.” on those who do good, giving joy to those who live right.
12Be happy in the Lord, you who do right, and thank him for his holy nature!

Tehillim (Psalms) 97
97
1יהוה shall reign. The earth rejoices. Many isles are glad!
2Clouds and darkness all around Him, Righteousness and right-ruling are the foundation of His throne.
3Fire goes before Him, And burns up His adversaries round about.
4His lightnings shall light the world, The earth shall see and tremble.
5The mountains shall melt like wax before the face of יהוה, Before the face of the Master of all the earth.
6The heavens shall declare His righteousness, And all the peoples shall see His esteem.
7All are put to shame who serve carved images, Those boasting of matters of naught. Bow yourselves to Him, all you mighty ones.
8Tsiyon shall hear and be glad, And the daughters of Yehuḏah rejoice Because of Your right-rulings, O יהוה.
9For You, יהוה, are the Most High over all the earth, You shall be greatly exalted, over all mighty ones.
10You who love יהוה, hate evil! He guards the lives of His lovingly-committed ones, He delivers them out of the hand of the wrong.
11Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.
12Rejoice in יהוה, you righteous, And give thanks at the remembrance of His Set-apartness.
