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. |
