The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof (97:1) Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne (97:2) A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about (97:3) His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled (97:4) The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth (97:5) The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory (97:6) Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods (97:7) Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O Lord (97:8) For thou, Lord, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods (97:9) Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked (97:10) Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart (97:11) Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness
(97:12)
