| 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! --
