Psalms 97
1 Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.
Jehovah reigneth; let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad.
2 Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.
Clouds and darkness are round about him: Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.
A fire goeth before him, And burneth up his adversaries round about.
4 Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.
His lightnings lightened the world: The earth saw, and trembled.
5 Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, 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 The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.
The heavens declare his righteousness, And all the peoples have seen his glory.
7 Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.
Let all them be put to shame that serve graven images, That boast themselves of idols: Worship him, all ye gods.
8 Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.
Zion heard and was glad, And the daughters of Judah rejoiced, Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.
9 For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.
For thou, Jehovah, art most high above all the earth: Thou art exalted far above all gods.
10 Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth 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 the upright of heart — joy.
Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous; And give thanks to his holy memorial [name].
