| Chapter 97 |
1 | Jehovah 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 Jehovah, 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 Jehovah.
|
9 | For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.
|
10 | Ye who love Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
