Psalms 97:1-10 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

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

2. Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.

3. A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about.

4. His lightnings lightened 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 peoples have seen his glory.

7. Ashamed 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 most high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.

10. O ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
