PSALM 97
1Jehovah reigneth: let the earth be glad, let the many isles rejoice. 2Clouds and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne. 3A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about. 4His lightnings lightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. 5The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 6The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory. 7Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols. Worship him, all ye gods.
8Zion heard, and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah. 9For thou, Jehovah, art the Most High above all the earth; thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods. 10Ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints, he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. 11Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart. 12Rejoice in Jehovah, ye righteous; and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.

Psalm 97
1The LORD rules! Let the earth rejoice!
Let all the islands celebrate!
2Clouds and thick darkness surround God.
His throne is built on righteousness and justice.
3Fire proceeds before him,
burning up his enemies on every side.
4His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees it and trembles!
5The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
before the Lord of the whole world!
6Heaven has proclaimed God’s righteousness,
and all nations have seen his glory.
7All those who worship images,
those who are proud of idols,
are put to shame.
All gods bow down to the Lord!
8Zion has heard and celebrates,
the towns#97.8 Or daughters of Judah rejoice,
because of your acts of justice, LORD,
9because you, LORD, are the Most High
over all the earth,
because you are so superior to all other gods.
10Those of you who love the LORD, hate evil!
God guards the lives of his faithful ones,
delivering them from the power of the wicked.
11Light is planted like seed for the righteous person;
joy too for those whose heart is right.
12Rejoice in the LORD, righteous ones!
Give thanks to his holy name!
