Psalms 97

VIN(i) 1 the LORD reigneth: let the earth be glad, let the many isles rejoice. 2 Cloud and thick darkness are surrounding him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. 3 A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side. 4 His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles. 5 Mountains melt like wax before the LORD before the LORD of all the earth. 6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory. 7 Let all who serve an image be ashamed, those who boast about idols. Worship him, all you gods. 8 Zion heard, and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgments, O LORD. 9 For you, LORD, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods. 10 You who love the LORD, hate evil. He protects the lives of his faithful; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked. 11 Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart. 12 Be glad in the LORD, you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name.
