Psalm 97
or Coverdale
Dominus regnavit

¹The Lord is King;
let the earth rejoice; *
let the multitude of the isles be glad.
²Clouds and darkness are round about him, *
righteousness and justice are the foundations of his throne.
³A fire goes before him *
and burns up his enemies on every side.
⁴His lightnings light up the world; *
the earth sees it and is afraid.
⁵The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord, *
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
⁶The heavens declare his righteousness, *
and all the peoples see his glory.
⁷Confounded be all who worship carved images
and delight in false gods! *
Bow down before him, all you gods.
⁸Zion hears and is glad, and the cities of Judah rejoice, *
because of your judgments, O Lord.
⁹For you are the Lord,
most high over all the earth; *
you are exalted far above all gods.
¹⁰The Lord loves those who hate evil; *
he preserves the lives of his saints
and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
¹¹Light has sprung up for the righteous, *
and joyful gladness for those who are truehearted.
¹²Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous, *
and give thanks to his holy Name.
