Psalms - Chapter 97 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad {cf15I thereof}.
  • 2. Clouds and darkness {cf15I are} round about him: righteousness and judgment {cf15I 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 {cf15I ye} gods.
  • 8. Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
  • 9. For thou, LORD, {cf15I 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.
