Psalm 97

1YHWH has reigned, || The earth is joyful, many islands rejoice. 2Cloud and darkness [are] around Him, || Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne. 3Fire goes before Him, || And burns around His adversaries. 4His lightnings have lightened the world, || The earth has seen, and is pained. 5Hills, like wax, melted before YHWH, || Before the Lord of all the earth. 6The heavens declared His righteousness, || And all the peoples have seen His glory. 7All servants of a carved image are ashamed, || Those boasting themselves in idols, || Bow yourselves to Him, all you gods. 8Zion has heard and rejoices, || And daughters of Judah are joyful, || Because of Your judgments, O YHWH. 9For You, YHWH, [are] Most High over all the earth, || You have been exalted greatly over all gods. 10You who love YHWH, hate evil, || He is keeping the souls of His saints, || He delivers them from the hand of the wicked. 11Light [is] sown for the righteous, || And joy for the upright of heart. 12Rejoice, you righteous, in YHWH, || And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness!
