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