Psalms 97 — LSV

97Verse 1YHWH has reigned, || The earth is joyful, many islands rejoice.^{Verse 2}Cloud and darkness [are] around Him, || Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.^{Verse 3}Fire goes before Him, || And burns around His adversaries.^{Verse 4}His lightnings have lightened the world, || The earth has seen, and is pained.^{Verse 5}Hills, like wax, melted before YHWH, || Before the Lord of all the earth.^{Verse 6}The heavens declared His righteousness, || And all the peoples have seen His glory.^{Verse 7}All servants of a carved image are ashamed, || Those boasting themselves in idols, || Bow yourselves to Him, all you gods.^{Verse 8}Zion has heard and rejoices, || And daughters of Judah are joyful, || Because of Your judgments, O YHWH.^{Verse 9}For You, YHWH, [are] Most High over all the earth, || You have been exalted greatly over all gods.^{Verse 10}You who love YHWH, hate evil, || He is keeping the souls of His saints, || He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.^{Verse 11}Light [is] sown for the righteous, || And joy for the upright of heart.^{Verse 12}Rejoice, you righteous, in YHWH, || And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness!
