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.
