King James VersionPsalms97

Psalms

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.
