97:1 Adonai is king, let the earth rejoice, let the many coasts and islands be glad.
97:2 Clouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
97:3 Fire goes before him, setting ablaze his foes on every side.
97:4 His flashes of lightning light up the world; the earth sees it and trembles.
97:5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Adonai, at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
97:6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.
97:7 All who worship images will be put to shame, those who make their boast in worthless idols. Bow down to him, all you gods!
97:8 Tziyon hears and is glad, Adonai; the daughters of Y’hudah rejoice at your rulings.
97:9 For you, Adonai, most high over all the earth, you are exalted far above all gods.
97:10 You who love Adonai, hate evil! He keeps his faithful servants safe. He rescues them from the power of the wicked.
97:11 Light is sown for the righteous and joy for the upright in heart.
97:12 Rejoice in Adonai, you righteous; and give thanks on recalling his holiness.
