Psalms 97

1 Yahweh, hath become king, Let the earth exult, Let the multitude of coastlands rejoice.

Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.

2 Clouds and thick darkness, are round about him, Righteousness and justice, are the establishing of his throne.

Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

3 Fire, before him, proceedeth, That it may consume, round about, his adversaries.

Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.

4 His lightnings, have illumined, the world, The earth, hath seen, and hath trembled;

Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.

5 The mountains, like wax, have melted, At the presence of Yahweh, At the presence, of the Lord of all the earth.

Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.

6 The heavens, have declared, his righteousness, —And all the peoples, have seen, his glory.

The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.

7 Let all who serve an image, be ashamed, They who boast themselves in things of nought, Bow down unto him, all ye gods.

Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

8 Zion, hath heard and rejoiced, And the daughters of Judah, have exulted, Because of thy righteous decisions, O Yahweh:

Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.

9 For, thou, Yahweh, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly hast thou exalted thyself above all gods.

For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over 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 who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.

11 Light, is sown for the righteous one, And, for the upright in heart, rejoicing:

Light [is] sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart — joy.

12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Yahweh, And give ye thanks, at the mention of his holiness.

Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
