Psalm 97 - NKJV Bible Online

Psalm 97

The Lord ^areigns;

Let the earth rejoice;

Let the multitude of ¹isles be glad!

^aClouds and darkness surround Him;

^bRighteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

^aA fire goes before Him,

And burns up His enemies round about.

^aHis lightnings light the world;

The earth sees and trembles.

^aThe mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord,

At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

^aThe heavens declare His righteousness,

And all the peoples see His glory.

^aLet all be put to shame who serve carved images,

Who boast of idols.

^bWorship Him, all you gods.

Zion hears and is glad,

And the daughters of Judah rejoice

Because of Your judgments, O Lord.

For You, Lord, are ^amost high above all the earth;

^bYou are exalted far above all gods.

You who love the Lord, ^ahate evil!

^bHe preserves the souls of His saints;

^cHe delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

^aLight is sown for the righteous,

And gladness for the upright in heart.

^aRejoice in the Lord, you righteous,

^bAnd give thanks ¹at the remembrance of ²His holy name.
