# Chapter 97
|
||
1 The Lord reigns! Let the earth rejoice;
|
||
let the many coasts and islands be glad.
|
||
2 Clouds and total darkness surround him;
|
||
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
|
||
3 Fire goes before him
|
||
and burns up his foes on every side.
|
||
4 His lightning lights up the world;
|
||
the earth sees and trembles.
|
||
5 The mountains melt like wax
|
||
at the presence of the Lord—
|
||
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
|
||
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness;
|
||
all the peoples see his glory.
|
||
7 All who serve carved images,
|
||
those who boast in worthless idols, will be put to shame.
|
||
All the gods must worship him.
|
||
8 Zion hears and is glad,
|
||
Judah’s villages rejoice
|
||
because of your judgments, Lord.
|
||
9 For you, Lord,
|
||
are the Most High over the whole earth;
|
||
you are exalted above all the gods.
|
||
10 You who love the Lord, hate evil!
|
||
He protects the lives of his faithful ones;
|
||
he rescues them from the power of the wicked.
|
||
11 Light dawns for the righteous,
|
||
gladness for the upright in heart.
|
||
12 Be glad in the Lord, you righteous ones,
|
||
and give thanks to his holy name. |
