Psalms 97

1 The Lord reigneth: let the earth be glad; let the multitude of isles rejoice.

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

2 Clouds and thick darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the support of his throne.

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

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

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

4 His lightnings give light to the world: the earth seeth it, and trembleth.

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

5 The mountains melt away like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of 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 tell of his righteousness, and all the people his glory.

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

7 Made ashamed shall be all that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: unto him bow down all the gods.

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

8 Zion heareth it, and rejoiceth; and glad are the daughters of Judah, because of thy decrees, O Lord.

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

9 For thou, O Lord, art the most high above all the earth: thou art greatly exalted above all gods.

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

10 Ye that love the Lord, hate ye the evil: he preserveth the souls of his pious ones; out of the hand of the wicked he ever delivereth them.

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 joy for the upright in heart.

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

12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord, and give thanks to his holy memorial.

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