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.

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.

Give thanks to him as you remember how holy he is.
