Psalms
Chapter 97
- 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.
