Psalms 97
1 Yahweh reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad.
The Lord reigneth: let the earth reioyce: let the multitude of the yles be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness surround him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
Cloudes and darkenes are round about him: righteousnesse and iudgement are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire goes before him and consumes his adversaries on every side.
There shall goe a fire before him, and burne vp his enemies round about.
4 His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.
His lightnings gaue light vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and was afraide.
5 The mountains melt like wax before Yahweh, the Lord of the whole earth.
The mountaines melted like waxe at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The skies declare his justice, and all the nations see his glory.
The heauens declare his righteousnes, and all the people see his glory.
7 All those who worship carved figures will be shamed, those who boast in worthless idols— bow down to him, all you gods!
Confounded be all they that serue grauen images, and that glory in idoles: worship him all ye gods.
8 Zion heard and was glad, and the towns of Judah rejoiced because of your righteous decrees, Yahweh.
Zion heard of it, and was glad: and the daughters of Iudah reioyced, because of thy iudgements, O Lord.
9 For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
For thou, Lord, art most High aboue all the earth: thou art much exalted aboue all gods.
10 You who love Yahweh, hate evil! He protects the lives of his saints, and he takes them out of the hand of the wicked.
Ye that loue the Lord, hate euill: he preserueth the soules of his Saints: hee will deliuer them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous and gladness for those with honest hearts.
Light is sowen for the righteous, and ioy for the vpright in heart.
12 Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous; and give thanks when you remember his holiness.
Reioyce ye righteous in the Lord, and giue thankes for his holy remembrance.
