| Chapter 97 |
1 |
Jehovah reigneth: let the earth be glad, let the many isles rejoice.
|
2 |
Clouds and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.
|
3 |
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about.
|
4 |
His lightnings lightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
|
5 |
The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
|
6 |
The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.
|
7 |
Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols. Worship him, all ye gods.
|
8 |
Zion heard, and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.
|
9 |
For thou, Jehovah, art the Most High above all the earth; thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.
|
10 |
Ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints, he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
|
11 |
Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
|
12 |
Rejoice in Jehovah, ye righteous; and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.
