Psalms 97
97
Yahweh’s Glorious Reign
1Yahweh is king! Let the earth rejoice;
let many coastlands be glad.
2Cloud and thick darkness are surrounding him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3Fire goes before him,
and devours his enemies round about.
4His lightnings light the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh,
at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6The heavens declare his righteousness,
and all the peoples see his glory.
7Let all who serve an image be ashamed,
those who boast about idols.#This word for idols suggests something worthless or insignificant
Worship him, all you gods.
8Zion hears and is glad,
and the daughters of Judah rejoice
because of your judgments, O Yahweh.
9For you, O Yahweh, are most high over all the earth.
You are highly#Hebrew “very” exalted above all gods.
10You who love Yahweh, hate evil.
He protects the lives of his faithful;
he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11Light is sown for the righteous,
and joy for the upright in heart.
12Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous,
and give thanks to his holy name.#Literally “to his holy remembrance” or “to his memorable holiness”

Psalms 97
97
1Jehovah reigneth; let the earth rejoice;
Let the multitude of isles be glad.
2Clouds and darkness are round about him:
Righteousness and justice 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 have seen his glory.
7Let all them be put to shame that serve graven images,
That boast themselves of idols:
Worship him, all ye gods.
8Zion heard and was glad,
And the daughters of Judah rejoiced,
Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.
9For thou, Jehovah, art most high above all the earth:
Thou art exalted far above all gods.
10O ye 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 gladness for the upright in heart.
12Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous;
And give thanks to his holy memorial name.
