Psalms 97 : 1 - 12
Chapter 97
| 1 | The LORD reigns; Let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad!
|
| 2 | Clouds and darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
|
| 3 | A fire goes before Him, And burns up His enemies round about.
|
| 4 | His lightnings light the world; The earth sees and trembles.
|
| 5 | The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
|
| 6 | The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples see His glory.
|
| 7 | Let all be put to shame who serve carved images, Who boast of idols. Worship Him, all you gods.
|
| 8 | Zion hears and is glad, And the daughters of Judah rejoice Because of Your judgments, O LORD.
|
| 9 | For You, LORD, are most high above all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.
|
| 10 | You who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
|
| 11 | Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.
|
| 12 | Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.
