| Chapter 97 |
1 | Yahweh reigneth; let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad. |
2 | Clouds and darkness are round about him: Righteousness and justice 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 Yahweh, At the presence of the Master of the whole earth. |
6 | The heavens declare his righteousness, And all the peoples have seen his glory. |
7 | Let all them be put to shame that serve graven images, That boast themselves of idols: Worship him, all ye elohim. |
8 | Zion heard and was glad, And the daughters of Judah rejoiced, Because of thy judgments, O Yahweh. |
9 | For thou, Yahweh, art most high above all the earth: Thou art exalted far above all elohim. |
10 | O ye that love Yahweh, 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 gladness for the upright in heart. |
12 | Be glad in Yahweh, ye righteous; And give thanks to his holy memorial name. |
