| Chapter 97 |
1 | Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice. |
2 | Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne. |
3 | Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries. |
4 | Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained. |
5 | Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth. |
6 | The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour. |
7 | Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods. |
8 | Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah. |
9 | For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods. |
10 | Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them. |
11 | Light [is] sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart -- joy. |
12 | Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness! |
