Psalms 97
1 Ref Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!
2 Ref Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Ref A fire goes before him, And burns up his adversaries on every side.
4 Ref His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.
5 Ref The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Ref The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.
7 Ref Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, Who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!
8 Ref Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, Because of your judgments, Yahweh.
9 Ref For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
10 Ref You who love Yahweh, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Ref Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Ref Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.
