Psalms, 97
1 Jehovah*1 himself has become king! Let the earth be joyful. Let the many islands*2 rejoice.
|
2 Clouds and thick gloom are all around him; Righteousness and judgment are the established place of his throne.
3 Before him a very fire goes, And it consumes his adversaries all around.
4 His lightnings lighted up the productive land; The earth saw and came to be in severe pains.
5 The mountains themselves proceeded to melt just like wax on account of Jehovah,*1 On account of the Lord*2 of the whole earth.
|
6 The heavens have told forth his righteousness, And all the peoples have seen his glory.
7 Let all those serving*1 any carved image be ashamed, Those who are making their boast in valueless gods.*2 Bow down to him, all YOU gods.*3
|
8 Zion heard and began to rejoice, And the dependent towns*1 of Judah began to be joyful By reason of your judicial decisions, O Jehovah.
|
9 For you, O Jehovah,*1 are the Most High over all the earth; You are very high in your ascent over all [other] gods.*2
|
10 O YOU lovers of Jehovah,*1 hate what is bad. He is guarding the souls of his loyal ones; Out of the hand of the wicked ones he delivers them.
|
11 Light itself has flashed up*1 for the righteous one, And rejoicing even for the ones upright in heart.
|
12 Rejoice in Jehovah,*1 O YOU righteous ones, And give thanks to his holy memorial.*2
