Psalms 97

1 Yahweh he reigns let it be glad the earth let them rejoice islands many.

Jehovah reigneth; let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad.

2 Cloud and thick darkness [are] around him [is] righteousness and justice [the] foundation of throne his.

Clouds and darkness are round about him: Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

3 Fire before him it goes and it may burn up all around opponents his.

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

4 They light up lightning flashes his [the] world it sees and it trembled the earth.

His lightnings lightened the world: The earth saw, and trembled.

5 Mountains like wax they melt from to before Yahweh from to before [the] lord of all the earth.

The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 They declare the heavens righteousness his and they see all the peoples glory his.

The heavens declare his righteousness, And all the peoples have seen his glory.

7 Let them be ashamed - all [those who] serve an image those [who] boast in worthless idols bow down to him O all gods.

Let all them be put to shame that serve graven images, That boast themselves of idols: Worship him, all ye gods.

8 It hears and it rejoiced - Zion and they were glad [the] daughters of Judah on account of judgments your O Yahweh.

Zion heard and was glad, And the daughters of Judah rejoiced, Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.

9 For you O Yahweh [are] most high over all the earth exceedingly you are exalted above all gods.

For thou, Jehovah, art most high above all the earth: Thou art exalted far above all gods.

10 O [you who] love Yahweh hate evil [he is] protecting [the] lives of faithful [people] his from [the] hand of wicked [people] he delivers them.

O ye that love Jehovah, 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 for [people] upright of heart joy.

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

12 Rejoice O righteous [people] in Yahweh and give thanks to [the] remembrance of holiness his.

Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous; And give thanks to his holy memorial [name].
