Psalms 97

Excerpt

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. 1 Chr. 16:31 . 1 Kgs. 8:12 .
