PSALM 97
1 The Lord hath reigned, the earth make full out joy; many isles be glad.

2 Cloud and darkness in his compass; rightfulness [or rightwiseness] and doom is[the] amending [or correction] of his seat.

3 Fire shall go before him; and shall enflame, either set afire, his enemies in compass.

4 His lightnings shined to the world; the earth saw, and was moved.

5 Hills as wax floated [or flowed] down from the face of the Lord; all earth from the face of the Lord.

6 Heavens told his rightfulness [or rightwiseness]; and all peoples saw his glory.

7 All they that worship graven things, or images, be shamed, and they that have glory in their simu-lacra; all ye angels of the Lord, worship him.

8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah made full out joy, for thy dooms, Lord.

9 For thou, Lord, art the highest on all earth; thou art greatly enhanced over all gods.

10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord keepeth the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of the sinner.

11 Light is risen to the rightful [or rightwise] man; and gladness to rightful men of heart.

12 Just [or rightwise] men, be ye glad in the Lord; and acknowledge ye to the mind of his hallowing.
