Psalm 97

Revised Version 1895

1The LORDH3068 reigneth; letH1523 the earthH776 rejoiceH8055; letH1523 the multitude of islesH339 be gladH8055.

2CloudsH6051 and darknessH6205 are roundH5439 aboutH5439 him: righteousnessH6664 and judgmentH4941 are the foundationH4349 of his throneH3678.
3A fireH784 goeth beforeH6440 him, and burneth upH3857 his adversaries roundH5439 aboutH5439.
4His lightningsH1300 lightened the worldH8398: the earthH776 sawH7200, and trembled.
5The hillsH2022 meltedH4549 like waxH1749 at the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, at the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068 of the wholeH3605 earthH776;
6The heavensH8064 declareH5046 his righteousnessH6664, and allH3605 the peoplesH5971 have seenH7200 his gloryH3519.
7AshamedH954 be allH3605 they that serveH5647 gravenH6459 imagesH6459, that boastH1984 themselvesH7812 of idolsH457: worshipH7812 him, allH3605 ye godsH430.
8ZionH6726 heardH8085 and was gladH8055, and the daughtersH1323 of JudahH3063 rejoicedH8055; becauseH4616 of thy judgmentsH4941, O LORDH3068.
9For thou, LORDH3068, art mostH3966 high aboveH5921 allH3605 the earthH776: thou art exaltedH5927 farH5921 aboveH5921 allH3605 godsH430.
10O ye that loveH157 the LORDH3068, hateH8130 evilH7451: he preserveth the soulsH5315 of his saints; he delivereth them outH3027 of the handH3027 of the wickedH7563.
11LightH216 is sownH2232 for the righteousH6662, and gladnessH8057 for the uprightH3477 in heartH3820.
12Be gladH8055 in the LORDH3068, ye righteousH6662; and giveH3034 thanksH3034 to his holyH6944 nameH2143.
