| 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. |
