Psalms 97
97
God Rules Over All
A psalm of David when his kingdom was established # 97 This inscription is from the Septuagint.
1Yahweh now reigns as King! Let everyone rejoice!
His rule extends everywhere, even to distant lands,
and the islands of the sea, let them all be glad.
2Clouds both dark and mysterious now surround him. # 97:2 See Deut. 4:11; 5:22.
His throne of glory rests upon
a foundation of righteousness and justice.
3All around him burns a blazing glory-fire consuming all his foes.
4When his lightning strikes, it lights up the world.
People are wide-eyed as they tremble and shake.
5Mountains melt away like wax in a fire
when the Lord of all the earth draws near.
6Heaven’s messengers preach righteousness, and
people everywhere see God’s glory in the sky!
7Shame covers all who boast in other gods, for they worship idols.
For all the supernatural powers once worshiped
the true and living God.
8But God’s Zion-people are content,
for they know and hear the truth.
The people of praise rejoice over all your judgments, O Lord!
9For you are King-God, the Most High God over all the earth.
You are exalted above every supernatural power!
10Listen, you lovers of God! Hate evil,
for God can keep you from wrong
and protect you from the power of wickedness.
11For he sows seeds of light within his devoted lovers,
and seeds of joy burst forth for the lovers of God!
12So be glad and continue to give him thanks,
for God’s holiness is seen in everything he does.

1 Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.
2Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.
3Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.
4Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.
5Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.
6The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.
7Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.
8Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.
9For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.
10Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.
11Light [is] sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart — joy.
12Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
