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!

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.
