| Chapter 97 |
1 | Jehovah reigneth: let the earth be glad, let the many isles rejoice. |
2 | Clouds and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne. |
3 | A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about. |
4 | His lightnings lightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. |
5 | The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. |
6 | The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory. |
7 | Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols. Worship him, all ye gods. |
8 | Zion heard, and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah. |
9 | For thou, Jehovah, art the Most High above all the earth; thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods. |
10 | Ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints, he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. |
11 | Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart. |
12 | Rejoice in Jehovah, ye righteous; and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness. |
