Psalms 97

The Lord’s Power and Dominion.

11The Lord 2reigns, let the 3earth rejoice; Let the many 45islands be glad.26Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; 7Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.38Fire goes before Him And 9burns up His adversaries round about.4His 10lightnings lit up the world; The earth saw and 11trembled.5The mountains 12melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the 13Lord of the whole earth.6The 14heavens declare His righteousness, And 15all the peoples have seen His glory.

7Let all those be ashamed who serve 16graven images, Who boast themselves of 17idols; 1819Worship Him, all you 20gods.8Zion 21heard this and 22was glad, And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced Because of Your judgments, O Lord.9For You are the Lord 23Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far 24above all 25gods.

1026Hate evil, you who love the Lord, Who 27preserves the souls of His godly ones; He 28delivers them from the hand of the wicked.1129Light is sown like seed for the righteous And 30gladness for the upright in heart.12Be 31glad in the Lord, you righteous ones, And 32give thanks 33to His holy name.
