Psalm 97:1-12
Let the Earth Rejoice

1 The LORD reigneth; 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 goeth before him, and burneth 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 preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth 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:
