< Psalms 97 >

1 Yahweh he reigns let it be glad the earth let them rejoice islands many.
YHWH has reigned, The earth is joyful, many islands rejoice.
2 Cloud and thick darkness [are] around him [is] righteousness and justice [the] foundation of throne his.
Cloud and darkness [are] around Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.
3 Fire before him it goes and it may burn up all around opponents his.
Fire goes before Him, And burns around His adversaries.
4 They light up lightning flashes his [the] world it sees and it trembled the earth.
His lightnings have lightened the world, The earth has seen, and is pained.
5 Mountains like wax they melt from to before Yahweh from to before [the] lord of all the earth.
Hills, like wax, melted before YHWH, Before the Lord of all the earth.
6 They declare the heavens righteousness his and they see all the peoples glory his.
The heavens declared 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.
All servants of a carved image are ashamed, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to 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 has heard and rejoices, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Your judgments, O YHWH.
9 For you O Yahweh [are] most high over all the earth exceedingly you are exalted above all gods.
For You, YHWH, [are] Most High over all the earth, You have been exalted greatly over 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.
You who love YHWH, hate evil, He is keeping 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 [is] sown for the righteous, And joy for the upright of heart.
12 Rejoice O righteous [people] in Yahweh and give thanks to [the] remembrance of holiness his.
Rejoice, you righteous, in YHWH, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness!
