97 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.
