Psalm 97:1–99:9

^1aThe Lord reigneth; ^blet the earth rejoice;

Let the ^†multitude of ^cisles be glad thereof.

^2dClouds and ^ddarkness are round about him:

^eRighteousness and judgment are the ^||ehabitation of his throne.

^3fA fire goeth before him,

And burneth up his enemies round about.

^4gHis lightnings enlightened the world:

The earth saw, and trembled.

^5hThe hills melted ⁱlike wax at the presence of the Lord,

At the presence of ^kthe Lord of the whole earth.

^6lThe heavens declare his righteousness,

And all the people see his glory.

⁷Confounded be all they that serve ^mgraven images,

That boast themselves of ⁿidols:

^oWorship him, all ye gods.

⁸Zion heard, and ^pwas glad;

And ^pthe daughters of Judah rejoiced

Because of thy judgments, O Lord.

⁹For thou, Lord, art ^qhigh above all the earth:

Thou art exalted far ^rabove all gods.

¹⁰Ye that love the Lord, ^shate evil:

^tHe preserveth the souls of ^uhis saints;

^vHe delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

^11wLight is sown for the righteous,

And gladness for ^xthe upright in heart.

^12yRejoice in the Lord, ye righteous;

^zAnd give thanks ^||at the remembrance of his holiness.

Psalm 98

^*A Psalm.

¹O ^asing unto the Lord a new song;

For ^bhe hath done marvellous things:

^cHis right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

^2dThe Lord hath made known his salvation:

^deHis righteousness hath he ^||fopenly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

³He hath ^gremembered his ^hmercy and his ^htruth toward the house of Israel:

^diAll the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

^4kMake a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth:

^lMake a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

⁵Sing unto the Lord with the ^mharp;

^mWith the harp, and ⁿthe voice of a psalm.

⁶With ^otrumpets and sound of ^pcornet

^kqMake a joyful noise before the Lord, the King.

^7rLet the sea roar, and ^sthe fulness thereof;

The world, and they that dwell therein.

⁸Let the floods ^tclap their hands:

Let ^uthe hills be joyful together

⁹Before the Lord; ^xfor he cometh to judge the earth:

With righteousness shall he judge the world,

And the people ^ywith equity.

Psalm 99

^1aThe Lord reigneth; let the people tremble:

^bHe sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth ^†be moved.

²The Lord is great in Zion;

And he is ^chigh above all the people.

³Let them praise thy ^dgreat and ^deterrible name;

For ^fit is holy.

⁴The ^gking’s strength also loveth judgment;

Thou dost establish ^hequity,

Thou executest ⁱjudgment and righteousness in Jacob.

^5kExalt ye the Lord our God,

And worship at ^lhis footstool;

For ^||mhe is holy.

^6noMoses and Aaron among his ^opriests,

And ^npSamuel among them that call upon his name;

They ^qcalled upon the Lord, and ^phe answered them.

⁷He spake unto them in the ^rcloudy pillar:

^sThey kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

⁸Thou answeredst ^tthem, O Lord our God:

Thou wast a God that ^uforgavest them,

^wThough thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

^9kExalt the Lord our God,

And worship at ^xhis holy hill;

For ^fmthe Lord our God is holy.
