| Chapter 97 |
1 |
Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice. Let the multitude of islands be glad. |
2 |
Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. |
3 |
A fire goes before him, And burns up his adversaries on every side. |
4 |
His lightning lights up the world; The earth sees, and trembles. |
5 |
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. |
6 |
The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory. |
7 |
Let all them be put to shame who serve engraved images, Who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods! |
8 |
Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, Because of your judgments, Yahweh. |
9 |
For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods. |
10 |
You who love Yahweh, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. |
11 |
Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart. |
12 |
Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name. Psalm 98 A Psalm. |
