Psalms 97
1 Yahweh, hath become king, Let the earth exult, Let the multitude of coastlands rejoice.
The LORD reigneth, let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of isles be glad!
2 Clouds and thick darkness, are round about him, Righteousness and justice, are the establishing of his throne.
Clouds and darkness are round about him; Justice and equity are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire, before him, proceedeth, That it may consume, round about, his adversaries.
Before him goeth a fire, Which burneth up his enemies around.
4 His lightnings, have illumined, the world, The earth, hath seen, and hath trembled;
His lightnings illumine the world; The earth beholdeth and trembleth.
5 The mountains, like wax, have melted, At the presence of Yahweh, At the presence, of the Lord of all the earth.
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens, have declared, his righteousness, —And all the peoples, have seen, his glory.
The heavens declare his righteousness, And all nations behold his glory.
7 Let all who serve an image, be ashamed, They who boast themselves in things of nought, Bow down unto him, all ye gods.
Confounded be they who worship graven images, Who glory in idols! To him, all ye gods, bow down!
8 Zion, hath heard and rejoiced, And the daughters of Judah, have exulted, Because of thy righteous decisions, O Yahweh:
Zion hath heard, and is glad, And the daughters of Judah exult On account of thy judgments, O LORD!
9 For, thou, Yahweh, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly hast thou exalted thyself above all gods.
For thou, O LORD! art most high above all the earth; Thou art far exalted above all gods!
10 Ye lovers of Yahweh! be haters of wrong, —He preserveth the lives of his men of lovingkindness, From the hand of the lawless, will he rescue them.
Ye that love the LORD, hate evil! He preserveth the lives of his servants, And delivereth them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light, is sown for the righteous one, And, for the upright in heart, rejoicing:
Light is sown for the righteous, And joy for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Yahweh, And give ye thanks, at the mention of his holiness.
Rejoice, O ye righteous, in the LORD, And praise his holy name!
