Psa 97 | AB | STEP | The Lord reigns, let the earth exalt, let many islands rejoice.

Psalms 97

For David, when his land was established.

1 The Lord reigns, let the earth exalt, let many islands rejoice. 2 Clouds and darkness are round about Him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of His throne. 3 Fire shall go before Him, and burn up His enemies round about. 4 His lightnings light the world; the earth saw, and trembled. 5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 6 The heavens have declared His righteousness, and all the people have seen His glory. 7 Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship Him, all you His angels. 8 Zion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of Your judgments, O Lord. 9 For You are Lord Most High over all the earth; You are greatly exalted above all gods. 10 You that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord preserves the souls of His saints; He shall deliver them from the hand of sinners. 11 Light has sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 12 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of His holiness.
