97:1 The Lord reigns, may the earth rejoice; May the many islands be joyful.
97:2 Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
97:3 Fire goes before Him And burns up His enemies all around.
97:4 His lightning lit up the world; The earth saw it and trembled.
97:5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
97:6 The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.
97:7 May all those be ashamed who serve carved images, Who boast in idols; Worship Him, all you gods.
97:8 Zion heard this and was joyful, And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced Because of Your judgments, Lord.
97:9 For You are the Lord Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.
97:10 Hate evil, you who love the Lord, Who watches over the souls of His godly ones; He saves them from the hand of the wicked.
97:11 Light is sown like seed for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.
97:12 Be joyful in the Lord, you righteous ones, And praise the mention of His holy name.
