[[Psalm 96|<< Psalm 96]] | [[Psalms|Psalms]] | [[Psalm 98|Psalm 98 >>]] ### Psalm 97 1 THE LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad _thereof_. ^1 2 Clouds and darkness _are_ round about him: righteousness and judgment _are_ the habitation of his throne. ^2 3 A fire goes before him, and burns up his enemies round about. ^3 4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. ^4 5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. ^5 6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. ^6 7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all _ye_ gods. ^7 8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. ^8 9 For thou, LORD, _art_ high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. ^9 10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserves the souls of his saints; he delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. ^10 11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. ^11 12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. ^12
