Psalms 97

1 The LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

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

2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

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

3 A fire goes before him, and burns up his enemies round about.

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

4 His lightning enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

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

5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole 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 declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

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

7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of 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 heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced 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, LORD, are high above 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 You that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserves the souls of his saints; he delivers them out of 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 is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

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

12 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

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