Psalm 97The Majestic King
|
|
|
|
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.
