Psalms 97

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

11 Light [is] sown for the righteous and for [people] upright of heart joy.

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