The LORD Reigns
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 97
|
|
1. The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice;
|
|
let the many coastlands be glad!
|
|
|
|
2. Clouds and thick darkness are all around him;
|
|
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
|
|
|
|
3. Fire goes before him
|
|
and burns up his adversaries all around.
|
|
|
|
4. His lightnings light up the world;
|
|
the earth sees and trembles.
|
|
|
|
5. The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
|
|
before the Lord of all the earth.
|
|
|
|
6. The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
|
|
and all the peoples see his glory.
|
|
|
|
7. All worshipers of images are put to shame,
|
|
who make their boast in worthless idols;
|
|
worship him, all you gods!
|
|
|
|
8. Zion hears and is glad,
|
|
and the daughters of Judah rejoice,
|
|
because of your judgments, O LORD.
|
|
|
|
9. For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth;
|
|
you are exalted far above all gods.
|
|
|
|
10. O you who love the LORD, hate evil!
|
|
He preserves the lives of his saints;
|
|
he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
|
|
|
|
11. Light is sown for the righteous,
|
|
and joy for the upright in heart.
|
|
|
|
12. Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous,
|
|
and give thanks to his holy name!
