Psalm
Psalm, 97
1 Jehovah has become King! Let the earth be joyful. Let the many islands rejoice.
2 Clouds and thick gloom are all around him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire goes before him And consumes his adversaries on every side.
4 His lightning bolts light up the land; The earth sees it and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before Jehovah, Before the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness, And all the peoples see his glory.
7 Let all those serving any carved image be put to shame, Those who boast about their worthless gods. Bow down to*1 him, all you gods.
|
8 Zion hears and rejoices; The towns*1 of Judah are joyful Because of your judgments, O Jehovah.
|
9 For you, O Jehovah, are the Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all other gods.
10 O you who love Jehovah, hate what is bad. He is guarding the lives*1 of his loyal ones; He rescues them from the hand*2 of the wicked.
|
11 Light has flashed up for the righteous And rejoicing for those upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in Jehovah, you righteous ones, And give thanks to his holy name.*1
