תהילים צ״זPsalms 97

GOD is sovereign!
Let the earth exult,
the many islands rejoice!

Surrounded by dense clouds—
righteousness and justice are the base of the heavenly throne.

Fire is the vanguard,
burning up foes on every side.

God’s lightnings light up the world;
the earth is convulsed at the sight;

mountains melt like wax at GOD’s presence,
at the presence of the Sovereign of all the earth.

The heavens proclaim God’s righteousness
and all peoples see God’s glory.

All who worship images,
who vaunt their idols,
are dismayed;
all divine beings bow down in homage.

Zion, hearing it, rejoices,
the towns of Judah exult,
because of Your judgments, O ETERNAL One.

For You, ETERNAL One, are supreme over all the earth;
You are exalted high above all divine beings.

O you who love GOD, hate evil!
For the lives of the loyal are guarded;
they are saved from the hand of the wicked.

Light is sown for the righteous,
radiance for the upright.

O you righteous, rejoice in GOD
and acclaim God’s holy name!
