96
(97) For David, when his land is established.
1 The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.
2 Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
3 Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.
4 His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.
7 Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; ✡ worship him, all you⌃ his angels.
8 Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of your judgments, O Lord.
9 For you are Lord most high over all the earth; you are greatly exalted above all gods.
10 You⌃ that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.
11 Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, you⌃ righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
