Psalm 97

1. 1

   The LORD is King; let the earth rejoice; *
   let the multitude of the isles be glad.

2. 2

   Clouds and darkness are round about him, *
   righteousness and justice are the foundations of his throne.

3. 3

   A fire goes before him *
   and burns up his enemies on every side.

4. 4

   His lightnings light up the world; *
   the earth sees it and is afraid.

5. 5

   The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, *
   at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6. 6

   The heavens declare his righteousness, *
   and all the peoples see his glory.

7. 7

   Confounded be all who worship carved images and delight in false gods! *
   Bow down before him, all you gods.

8. 8

   Zion hears and is glad, and the cities of Judah rejoice, *
   because of your judgments, O LORD.

9. 9

   For you are the LORD, most high over all the earth; *
   you are exalted far above all gods.

10. 10

    The LORD loves those who hate evil; *
    he preserves the lives of his saints and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11. 11

    Light has sprung up for the righteous, *
    and joyful gladness for those who are truehearted.

12. 12

    Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous, *
    and give thanks to his holy Name.
