Psalms 97

Bishops(i) 1 God raigneth, the earth shalbe glad: the multitude of the Iles shalbe glad [therof. 2 Cloudes and thicke darknesse are rounde about hym: iustice and iudgement are the habitation of his throne 3 There goeth a fire before his face: and burneth his enemies on euery syde 4 His lightninges gaue a lyght vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and trembled 5 The hylles melted lyke waxe at the presence of God: at the presence of the Lorde of the whole earth 6 The heauens haue declared his iustice: and all the people haue seene his glorie 7 Confounded be all they that do seruice vnto carued images: and that do glorie in idols, but O gods, you all shall worshyp hym 8 Sion hearde of it, and reioyced: and the daughters of Iuda be glad, because of thy iudgementes O God 9 For thou art a God hygher then all [that are in] the earth: thou art exalted farre aboue all gods 10 You that loue God, hate the thyng which is euyll: he preserueth the soules of his saintes, he wyll delyuer them from the hande of the vngodly 11 There is sowen a lyght for the ryghteous: and gladnesse for such as be vpryght of heart 12 Reioyce in God O ye ryghteous: and prayse [hym] at the remembraunce of his holynesse
