Psalm 97

PSALM 97

Remember His Holy Name

^1aYahweh ¹reigns, let the ^bearth rejoice;

Let the many ^ccoastlands be glad.

^2aClouds and thick darkness are all around Him;

^bRighteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

^3aFire goes before Him

And ^bburns up His adversaries all around.

⁴His ^alightnings light up the world;

The earth sees and ^btrembles.

⁵The mountains ^amelt like wax at the presence of Yahweh,

At the presence of the ^bLord of all the earth.

⁶The ^aheavens declare His righteousness,

And ^ball the peoples see His glory.

⁷Let all those be ashamed who serve ^agraven images,

Who boast of ^bidols;

^1cWorship Him, all you ²gods!

⁸Zion ¹heard this and ^awas glad,

And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced

Because of Your judgments, O Yahweh.

⁹For You are Yahweh ^aMost High over all the earth;

You are exalted far ^babove all ¹gods.

^10aHate evil, you who love Yahweh,

Who ^bkeeps the souls of His holy ones;

He ^cdelivers them from the hand of the wicked.

^11aLight is sown for the righteous

And ^bgladness for the upright in heart.

¹²Be ^aglad in Yahweh, you righteous ones,

And ^bgive thanks for the remembrance of ¹His holy name.
