Psalms Chapter 97

• 1 The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
• 2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
• 3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
• 4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
• 5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
• 6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
• 7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
• 8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O Lord.
• 9 For thou, Lord, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
• 10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
• 11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
• 12 Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
