Psalm 97–99

¹Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.

²Cloud and darkness are round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

³Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.

⁴Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.

⁵Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.

⁶The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.

⁷Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

⁸Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.

⁹For Thou, Jehovah, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.

¹⁰Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.

¹¹Light is sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart—joy.

¹²Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!

Psalm 98

¹A Psalm. Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, For wonders He hath done, Given salvation to Him hath His right hand and His holy arm.

²Jehovah hath made known His salvation, Before the eyes of the nations, He hath revealed His righteousness,

³He hath remembered His kindness, And His faithfulness to the house of Israel, All ends of earth have seen the salvation of our God.

⁴Shout to Jehovah, all the earth, Break forth, and cry aloud, and sing.

⁵Sing to Jehovah with harp, With harp, and voice of praise,

⁶With trumpets, and voice of a cornet, Shout ye before the king Jehovah.

⁷Roar doth the sea and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

⁸Floods clap hand, together hills cry aloud,

⁹Before Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth, He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the people in uprightness!

Psalm 99

¹Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.

²Jehovah in Zion is great, And high He is over all the peoples.

³They praise Thy name, ‘Great, and fearful, holy it is.’

⁴And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou—Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou—Thou hast done.

⁵Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His footstool, holy is He.

⁶Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

⁷In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.

⁸O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

⁹Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For holy is Jehovah our God!

Psalm 100
