Psalms 97 — ILT

97The Lord reigneth: let the earth be glad; let the multitude of isles rejoice.²Clouds and thick darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the support of his throne.³A fire goeth before him, and burneth up round about his adversaries.⁴His lightnings give light to the world: the earth seeth it, and trembleth.⁵The mountains melt away like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.⁶The heavens tell of his righteousness, and all the people his glory.⁷Made ashamed shall be all that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: unto him bow down all the gods.⁸Zion heareth it, and rejoiceth; and glad are the daughters of Judah, because of thy decrees, O Lord.⁹For thou, O Lord, art the most high above all the earth: thou art greatly exalted above all gods.¹⁰Ye that love the Lord, hate ye the evil: he preserveth the souls of his pious ones; out of the hand of the wicked he ever delivereth them.¹¹Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.¹²Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord, and give thanks to his holy memorial.
