< Psalms 97 >
1 The Lord reigneth: let the earth reioyce: let the multitude of the yles be glad.
Jehovah reigneth: let the earth be glad, let the many isles rejoice.
2 Cloudes and darkenes are round about him: righteousnesse and iudgement are the foundation of his throne.
Clouds and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.
3 There shall goe a fire before him, and burne vp his enemies round about.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about.
4 His lightnings gaue light vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and was afraide.
His lightnings lightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 The mountaines melted like waxe at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heauens declare his righteousnes, and all the people see his glory.
The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.
7 Confounded be all they that serue grauen images, and that glory in idoles: worship him all ye gods.
Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols. Worship him, all ye gods.
8 Zion heard of it, and was glad: and the daughters of Iudah reioyced, because of thy iudgements, O Lord.
Zion heard, and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.
9 For thou, Lord, art most High aboue all the earth: thou art much exalted aboue all gods.
For thou, Jehovah, art the Most High above all the earth; thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.
10 Ye that loue the Lord, hate euill: he preserueth the soules of his Saints: hee will deliuer them from the hand of the wicked.
Ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints, he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sowen for the righteous, and ioy for the vpright in heart.
Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Reioyce ye righteous in the Lord, and giue thankes for his holy remembrance.
Rejoice in Jehovah, ye righteous; and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.
