Psalms 97

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 A Psalm of David himself. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has performed wonders. His right hand has accomplished salvation for him, with his holy arm.	1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
2 The Lord has made known his salvation. He has revealed his justice in the sight of the nations.	2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
3 He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.	3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
4 Sing joyfully to God, all the earth. Sing and exult, and sing psalms.	4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 Sing psalms to the Lord with stringed instruments, with strings and the voice of a psalmist,	5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 with subtle wind instruments and the voice of woodwinds. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king.	6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
7 Let the sea be moved and all its fullness, the whole world and all who dwell in it.	7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
8 The rivers will clap their hands, the mountains will exult together,	8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
9 before the presence of the Lord. For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with justice, and the peoples with fairness.	9 For thou, LORD, 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.
