Psalms 97

1 The Lord reigneth: let the earth reioyce: let the multitude of the yles be glad.

Yahweh, hath become king, Let the earth exult, Let the multitude of coastlands rejoice.

2 Cloudes and darkenes are round about him: righteousnesse and iudgement are the foundation of his throne.

Clouds and thick darkness, are round about him, Righteousness and justice, are the establishing of his throne.

3 There shall goe a fire before him, and burne vp his enemies round about.

Fire, before him, proceedeth, That it may consume, round about, his adversaries.

4 His lightnings gaue light vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and was afraide.

His lightnings, have illumined, the world, The earth, hath seen, and hath trembled;

5 The mountaines melted like waxe at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

The mountains, like wax, have melted, At the presence of Yahweh, At the presence, of the Lord of all the earth.

6 The heauens declare his righteousnes, and all the people see his glory.

The heavens, have declared, his righteousness, —And all the peoples, have seen, his glory.

7 Confounded be all they that serue grauen images, and that glory in idoles: worship him all ye gods.

Let all who serve an image, be ashamed, They who boast themselves in things of nought, Bow down unto him, all ye gods.

8 Zion heard of it, and was glad: and the daughters of Iudah reioyced, because of thy iudgements, O Lord.

Zion, hath heard and rejoiced, And the daughters of Judah, have exulted, Because of thy righteous decisions, O Yahweh:

9 For thou, Lord, art most High aboue all the earth: thou art much exalted aboue all gods.

For, thou, Yahweh, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly hast thou exalted thyself above all gods.

10 Ye that loue the Lord, hate euill: he preserueth the soules of his Saints: hee will deliuer them from the hand of the wicked.

Ye lovers of Yahweh! be haters of wrong, —He preserveth the lives of his men of lovingkindness, From the hand of the lawless, will he rescue them.

11 Light is sowen for the righteous, and ioy for the vpright in heart.

Light, is sown for the righteous one, And, for the upright in heart, rejoicing:

12 Reioyce ye righteous in the Lord, and giue thankes for his holy remembrance.

Rejoice, ye righteous, in Yahweh, And give ye thanks, at the mention of his holiness.
