Psalms 97

1 YHWH reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

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

3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.

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

5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of YHWH, at the presence of the Master of the whole earth.

6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye elohim.

8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O YHWH.

9 For thou, YHWH, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all elohim.

10 Ye that love YHWH, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

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