Psalm 97
The LORD's Dominion and Power |
1 |
The LORD reigneth;
let the earth rejoice;
|
let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. |
|
|
2 |
Clouds and darkness are round
about him:
|
righteousness and judgment are the habitation
of his
throne. |
|
|
3 |
A fire goeth before him,
|
and burneth up his enemies round
about. |
|
|
4 |
His lightnings enlightened the world:
|
the earth saw, and
trembled. |
|
|
5 |
The hills melted like wax at the presence
of the LORD,
|
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
|
|
|
6 |
The heavens declare his
righteousness,
|
and all the people see his
glory. |
|
|
7 |
Confounded be all they that serve graven
images,
|
that boast themselves of idols: |
worship him, all ye gods. |
|
|
8 |
Zion heard, and was glad;
|
and the daughters of Judah rejoiced |
because of thy judgments, O LORD. |
|
|
9 |
For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth:
|
thou art exalted far above all gods.
|
|
|
10 |
Ye that love the LORD, 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 gladness for the upright in
heart. |
|
|
12 |
Rejoice in the LORD,
ye righteous;
|
and give thanks at the remembrance of his
holiness. |
