Tehillim 97

1Hashem reigneth; let ha'aretz rejoice;

let the multitude of isles thereof be glad.

2Anan and darkness are round about Him;

tzedek and mishpat are the foundation of His kisse.

3Eish goeth before Him,

and burneth up His enemies on every side.

4His lightnings light up the tevel;

ha'aretz saw, and trembled.

5The harim melted like wax at the presence of Hashem ,

at the presence of Adon kol HaAretz.

6HaShomayim declare His tzedek,

and kol ha'amim see His kavod.

7Shamed be all they that serve pesel,

that boast themselves of elilim;

worship Him, kol elohim.

8Tziyon heard, and was glad;

and the banot Yehudah rejoiced

because of Thy mishpatim, Hashem .

9For Thou, Hashem , art Elyon above kol ha'aretz;

Thou art exalted far above kol elohim.

10Ye that love Hashem , hate rah;

He preserveth the nefashot of His chasidim;

He delivereth them out of the yad resha'im.

11Ohr dawns for the tzaddik,

and simchah for the yishrei lev (upright in heart) .

12Rejoice in Hashem , ye tzaddikim;

and give thanks at the remembrance of His kodesh (holiness) .
