PsalmsPsalm 97 |
|
1 THE LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. |
|
2 Clouds and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne. |
|
3 Fire goes before him, and burns up his enemies round about. |
|
4 His lightnings enlightened the world; the earth saw, and trembled. |
|
5 The hills melted 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 people see his glory. |
|
7 Confounded are all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols; worship him, all his angels. |
|
8 Zion heard and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. |
|
9 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth; thou art 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 shone 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 holiness. |
