| Chapter 97 |
1 |
Yehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice. |
2 |
Cloud and darkness are round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne. |
3 |
Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries. |
4 |
Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained. |
5 |
Hills, like wax, melted before Yehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth. |
6 |
The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour. |
7 |
Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods. |
8 |
Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Yehovah. |
9 |
For Thou, Yehovah, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods. |
10 |
Ye who love Yehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them. |
11 |
Light is sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart -- joy. |
12 |
Rejoice, ye righteous, in Yehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness! |
