Psalms 97

1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.

The Lord reigneth: let the earth reioyce: let the multitude of the yles be glad.

2 Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.

Cloudes and darkenes are round about him: righteousnesse and iudgement are the foundation of his throne.

3 Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.

There shall goe a fire before him, and burne vp his enemies round about.

4 His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.

His lightnings gaue light vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and was afraide.

5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

The mountaines melted like waxe at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.

The heauens declare his righteousnes, and all the people see his glory.

7 All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!

Confounded be all they that serue grauen images, and that glory in idoles: worship him all ye gods.

8 Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.

Zion heard of it, and was glad: and the daughters of Iudah reioyced, because of thy iudgements, O Lord.

9 For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

For thou, Lord, art most High aboue all the earth: thou art much exalted aboue all gods.

10 Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

Ye that loue the Lord, hate euill: he preserueth the soules of his Saints: hee will deliuer them from the hand of the wicked.

11 Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.

Light is sowen for the righteous, and ioy for the vpright in heart.

12 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.

Reioyce ye righteous in the Lord, and giue thankes for his holy remembrance.
