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!

Psalms 97
97
1 Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.
2Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.
3Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.
4Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.
5Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.
6The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.
7Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.
8Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.
9For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.
10Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.
11Light [is] sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart — joy.
12Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
