King James Version

The Book of Psalms

Psalm 97

  

The Majesty of the Almighty God

1The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice;
let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

  2 Clouds and darkness are round about him:
righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. 3 A fire goeth before him,
and burneth up his enemies round about. 4 His lightnings enlightened the world:
the earth saw, and trembled. 5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 6 The heavens declare his righteousness,
and all the people see his glory.   7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images,
that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.   8 Zion heard, and was glad;
and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O Lord. 9 For thou, Lord, art high above all the earth:
thou art exalted far above all gods.   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. 11 Light is sown for the righteous,
and gladness for the upright in heart. 12 Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous;
and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
