Chapter 97
001
Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!
002
Clouds and darkness are around her. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of her throne.
003
A fire goes before her, and burns up her adversaries on every side.
004
Her lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.
005
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Domina of the whole earth.
006
The heavens declare her righteousness. All the peoples have seen her glory.
007
Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship her, all you gods!
008
Zion heard and was glad. The sons of Judah rejoiced, because of your judgments, Yahweh.
009
For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
010
You who love Yahweh, hate evil. She preserves the souls of her saints. She delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
011
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
012
Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to her holy Name.
