| Chapter 97 |
1 | The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad. |
2 | Clouds and darkness surround 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. |
