< Psalms 97 >

1 Yahweh he reigns let it be glad the earth let them rejoice islands many.
The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.
2 Cloud and thick darkness [are] around him [is] righteousness and justice [the] foundation of throne his.
Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.
3 Fire before him it goes and it may burn up all around opponents his.
Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.
4 They light up lightning flashes his [the] world it sees and it trembled the earth.
His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.
5 Mountains like wax they melt from to before Yahweh from to before [the] lord of all the earth.
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
6 They declare the heavens righteousness his and they see all the peoples glory his.
The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see 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.
All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!
8 It hears and it rejoiced - Zion and they were glad [the] daughters of Judah on account of judgments your O Yahweh.
Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.
9 For you O Yahweh [are] most high over all the earth exceedingly you are exalted above all gods.
For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are 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.
Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light [is] sown for the righteous and for [people] upright of heart joy.
Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice O righteous [people] in Yahweh and give thanks to [the] remembrance of holiness his.
Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.
