1(97) For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.
1O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
2Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
2Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
3Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.
3Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
4His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled.
4For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
5For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.
6The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.
6Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all you⌃ his angels.
7Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
8Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of your judgments, O Lord .
8Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9For you are Lord most high over all the earth; you are greatly exalted above all gods.
9O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
10You⌃ that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.
10Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
11Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
12Rejoice in the Lord, you⌃ righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
12Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
