Psalm 97

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!
