== Tehillim (Book of Psalms), Chapter 97 ==


<named id="1"/><sup>1</sup> HaShem reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad. 

<named id="2"/><sup>2</sup> Clouds and darkness are round about Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. 

<named id="3"/><sup>3</sup> A fire goeth before Him, and burneth up His adversaries round about. 

<named id="4"/><sup>4</sup> His lightnings lighted up the world; the earth saw, and trembled. 

<named id="5"/><sup>5</sup> The mountains melted like wax at the presence of HaShem, at the presence of the L-rd of the whole earth. 

<named id="6"/><sup>6</sup> The heavens declared His righteousness, and all the peoples saw His glory. 

<named id="7"/><sup>7</sup> Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of things of nought; bow down to Him, all ye gods.


<named id="8"/><sup>8</sup> Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced; because of Thy judgments, O HaShem. 

<named id="9"/><sup>9</sup> For Thou, HaShem, art most high above all the earth; Thou art exalted far above all gods. 

<named id="10"/><sup>10</sup> O ye that love HaShem, hate evil; He preserveth the souls of His saints; He delivered them out of the hand of the wicked. 

<named id="11"/><sup>11</sup> Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 

<named id="12"/><sup>12</sup> Be glad in HaShem, ye righteous; and give thanks to His holy name.
