Salmos 97

A Song of Praise to the Sovereign Lord

1 The Lord*(Ps. 96:10)reigns;

Let the earth rejoice;

Let the multitude of isles be glad!

2 *Ex. 19:9; Deut. 4:11; 1 Kin. 8:12; Ps. 18:11Clouds and darkness surround Him;

*(Ps. 89:14)Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

3 *Ps. 18:8; Dan. 7:10; Hab. 3:5A fire goes before Him,

And burns up His enemies round about.

4 *Ex. 19:18His lightnings light the world;

The earth sees and trembles.

5 *Ps. 46:6; Amos 9:5; Mic. 1:4; Nah. 1:5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord,

At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 *Ps. 19:1The heavens declare His righteousness,

And all the peoples see His glory.

7 *(Ex. 20:4)Let all be put to shame who serve carved images,

Who boast of idols.

*(Heb. 1:6)Worship Him, all you gods.

8 Zion hears and is glad,

And the daughters of Judah rejoice

Because of Your judgments, O Lord.

9 For You, Lord, are*Ps. 83:18most high above all the earth;

*Ex. 18:11; Ps. 95:3; 96:4You are exalted far above all gods.

10 You who love the Lord, *(Ps. 34:14; Prov. 8:13; Amos 5:15; Rom. 12:9)hate evil!

*Ps. 31:23; 145:20; Prov. 2:8He preserves the souls of His saints;

*Ps. 37:40; Jer. 15:21; Dan. 3:28He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

11 *Job 22:28; Ps. 112:4; Prov. 4:18Light is sown for the righteous,

And gladness for the upright in heart.

12 *Ps. 33:1Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous,

*Ps. 30:4And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.
