Psalms 97

1 Yahweh he reigns let it be glad the earth let them rejoice islands many.

The LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

2 Cloud and thick darkness [are] around him [is] righteousness and justice [the] foundation of throne his.

Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

3 Fire before him it goes and it may burn up all around opponents his.

A fire goes before him, and burns up his enemies round about.

4 They light up lightning flashes his [the] world it sees and it trembled the earth.

His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

5 Mountains like wax they melt from to before Yahweh from to before [the] lord of all the earth.

The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 They declare the heavens righteousness his and they see all the peoples glory his.

The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

7 Let them be ashamed - all [those who] serve an image those [who] boast in worthless idols bow down to him O all gods.

Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all you gods.

8 It hears and it rejoiced - Zion and they were glad [the] daughters of Judah on account of judgments your O Yahweh.

Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, O LORD.

9 For you O Yahweh [are] most high over all the earth exceedingly you are exalted above all gods.

For you, LORD, are high above all the earth: you are exalted far above all gods.

10 O [you who] love Yahweh hate evil [he is] protecting [the] lives of faithful [people] his from [the] hand of wicked [people] he delivers them.

All of you that love the LORD, hate evil: he perserves the souls of his saints; he delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

11 Light [is] sown for the righteous and for [people] upright of heart joy.

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

12 Rejoice O righteous [people] in Yahweh and give thanks to [the] remembrance of holiness his.

Rejoice in the LORD, all of you righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
