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!

Psalms 97
97
1 The LORD reigns!
Let the earth rejoice!
Let the multitude of islands be glad!
2 Clouds and darkness are around him.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 A fire goes before him,
and burns up his adversaries on every side.
4 His lightning lights up the world.
The earth sees, and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD,
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens declare his righteousness.
All the peoples have seen his glory.
7Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images,
who boast in their idols.
Worship him, all you gods!#97:7 LXX reads “angels” instead of “gods”.
8 Zion heard and was glad.
The daughters of Judah rejoiced
because of your judgements, LORD.
9 For you, LORD, are most high above all the earth.
You are exalted far above all gods.
10 You who love the LORD, hate evil!
He preserves the souls of his saints.
He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11Light is sown for the righteous,
and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Be glad in the LORD, you righteous people!
Give thanks to his holy Name.
