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!

A Hymn About the Lord’s Power
1The Lord is king. Let the earth rejoice;
faraway lands should be glad.
2Thick, dark clouds surround him.
His kingdom is built on what is right and fair.
3A fire goes before him
and burns up his enemies all around.
4His lightning lights up the world;
when the people see it, they tremble.
5The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
before the Lord of all the earth.
6The heavens tell about his goodness,
and all the people see his glory.
7Those who worship idols should be ashamed;
they brag about their gods.
All the gods should worship the Lord.
8When Jerusalem hears this, she is glad,
and the towns of Judah rejoice.
They are happy because of your judgments, Lord.
9You are the Lord Most High over all the earth;
you are supreme over all gods.
10People who love the Lord hate evil.
The Lord watches over those who follow him
and frees them from the power of the wicked.
11Light shines on those who do right;
joy belongs to those who are honest.
12Rejoice in the Lord, you who do right.
Praise his holy name.
