Psalm 97

The Lord reigns,(A) let the earth be glad;(B)
    let the distant shores(C) rejoice.
Clouds(D) and thick darkness(E) surround him;
    righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.(F)
Fire(G) goes before(H) him
    and consumes(I) his foes on every side.
His lightning(J) lights up the world;
    the earth(K) sees and trembles.(L)
The mountains melt(M) like wax(N) before the Lord,
    before the Lord of all the earth.(O)
The heavens proclaim his righteousness,(P)
    and all peoples see his glory.(Q)

All who worship images(R) are put to shame,(S)
    those who boast in idols(T)
    worship him,(U) all you gods!(V)

Zion hears and rejoices
    and the villages of Judah are glad(W)
    because of your judgments,(X) Lord.
For you, Lord, are the Most High(Y) over all the earth;(Z)
    you are exalted(AA) far above all gods.
10 Let those who love the Lord hate evil,(AB)
    for he guards(AC) the lives of his faithful ones(AD)
    and delivers(AE) them from the hand of the wicked.(AF)
11 Light shines[a](AG) on the righteous(AH)
    and joy on the upright in heart.(AI)
12 Rejoice in the Lord,(AJ) you who are righteous,
    and praise his holy name.(AK)

  1. Psalm 97:11 One Hebrew manuscript and ancient versions (see also 112:4); most Hebrew manuscripts Light is sown

耶和華做王威嚴炫赫

97 耶和華做王!願地快樂,願眾海島歡喜!
密雲和幽暗在他的四圍,公義和公平是他寶座的根基。
有烈火在他前頭行,燒滅他四圍的敵人。
他的閃電光照世界,大地看見便震動。
諸山見耶和華的面,就是全地之主的面,便消化如蠟。
諸天表明他的公義,萬民看見他的榮耀。
願一切侍奉雕刻的偶像,靠虛無之神自誇的,都蒙羞愧。萬神哪,你們都當拜他!
耶和華啊,錫安聽見你的判斷就歡喜,猶大的城邑[a]也都快樂。
因為你耶和華至高,超乎全地;你被尊崇,遠超萬神之上。
10 你們愛耶和華的,都當恨惡罪惡,他保護聖民的性命,搭救他們脫離惡人的手。
11 散布亮光是為義人,預備喜樂是為正直人。
12 你們義人當靠耶和華歡喜,稱謝他可記念的聖名!
