Psalms 97 — T4T
97Verse 1Yahweh is the king!I want everyone on the earth to be glad/happy,
and the people who live on the islands in the oceans to also rejoice about that!Verse 2There are very dark clouds around him to hide him;
he rules [MTY] righteously/justly and fairly.
Verse 3He sends fire in front of him,and he completely burns all his enemies in that fire.Verse 4All around the world he causes lightning to flash;people on the earth see it, and it causes them to be afraid and tremble.Verse 5The mountains/hills melt like wax in front of Yahweh,the one who is the Lord, who rules over all the earth.Verse 6The angels in [MTY] heaven proclaim that he acts righteously,and all the people-groups see his glory.Verse 7Everyone who worships idols should be ashamed;all those who are proud of their false gods should realize that their gods are useless,It is as though all those gods bow down to worship Yahweh.Verse 8The people [MTY] of Jerusalem hear about Yahweh and are glad/happy,and people in the other [MTY] cities in Judah also rejoice,
because Yahweh judges and punishes wicked people.Verse 9Yahweh is the supreme king over all the earth;he has very great power, and all the other gods have no power at all.Verse 10Yahweh loves those who hate what people do that is evil;he protects the lives of his people,
and he rescues them when the wicked people try to harm them.Verse 11His light shines on righteous people;he causes those who are righteous to rejoice.Verse 12You righteous people, rejoice about what Yahweh has done,and thank him, our holy God!
