PSALM 97
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1God reigneth, let the earth be glad,
and isles rejoice each one.
2Dark clouds him compass; and in right
with judgment dwells his throne.
3Fire goes before him,
and his foes it burns up round about:
4His lightnings lighten did the world; earth saw,
and shook throughout.
5Hills at the presence of the Lord,
like wax, did melt away;
Ev'n at the presence of the Lord
of all the earth, I say.
6The heav'ns declare his righteousness,
all men his glory see.
7All who serve graven images,
confounded let them be.
Who do of idols boast themselves,
let shame upon them fall:
Ye that are called gods, see that
ye do him worship all.
8Sion did hear, and joyful was,
glad Judah's daughters were;
They much rejoic'd, O Lord, because
thy judgments did appear.
9For thou, O Lord, art high above
all things on earth that are;
Above all other gods thou art
exalted very far.
10Hate ill, all ye that love the Lord:
his saints' souls keepeth he;
And from the hands of wicked men
he sets them safe and free.
11For all those that be righteous
sown is a joyful light,
And gladness sown is for all those
that are in heart upright.
12Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice;
express your thankfulness,
When ye into your memory
do call his holiness.

Tehillim 97
97
1 Hashem reigneth; let ha'aretz rejoice; let the multitude of isles thereof be glad.
2Anan and darkness are round about Him; tzedek and mishpat are the foundation of His kisse.
3Eish goeth before Him, and burneth up His enemies on every side.
4His lightnings light up the tevel; ha'aretz saw, and trembled.
5The harim melted like wax at the presence of Hashem, at the presence of Adon kol HaAretz.
6HaShomayim declare His tzedek, and kol ha'amim see His kavod.
7Shamed be all they that serve pesel, that boast themselves of elilim; worship Him, kol elohim.
8Tziyon heard, and was glad; and the banot Yehudah rejoiced because of Thy mishpatim, Hashem.
9For Thou, Hashem, art Elyon above kol ha'aretz; Thou art exalted far above kol elohim.
10Ye that love Hashem, hate rah; He preserveth the nefashot of His chasidim; He delivereth them out of the yad resha'im.
11Ohr dawns for the tzaddik, and simchah for the yishrei lev (upright in heart).
12Rejoice in Hashem, ye tzaddikim; and give thanks at the remembrance of His kodesh (holiness).
