Psalm 97

Remember His Holy Name

1 Yahweh ^{▼▼Or has assumed Kingship}reigns, let the earth rejoice;
Let the many coastlands be glad.
2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around Him;
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
3 Fire goes before Him
And burns up His adversaries all around.
4 His lightnings light up the world;
The earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh,
At the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens declare His righteousness,
And all the peoples see His glory.
7 Let all those be ashamed who serve graven images,
Who boast of idols;
^{▼▼ Or All the gods have worshiped Him}Worship Him, all you ^{▼▼Or supernatural powers}gods!
8 Zion ^{▼▼Or possibly hears and is glad}heard this and was glad,
And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced
Because of Your judgments, O Yahweh.
9 For You are Yahweh Most High over all the earth;
You are exalted far above all ^{▼▼Or supernatural powers}gods.
10 Hate evil, you who love Yahweh,
Who keeps the souls of His holy ones;
He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous
And gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous ones,
And give thanks for the remembrance of ^{▼▼Lit His holiness}His holy name.
