97 JEHOVA reinó: regocíjese la tierra: Alégrense las muchas islas.

Nube y oscuridad alrededor de él: Justicia y juicio son el asiento de su trono.

Fuego irá delante de él, Y abrasará en derredor sus enemigos.

Sus relámpagos alumbraron el mundo: La tierra vió, y estremecióse.

Los montes se derritieron como cera delante de Jehová, Delante del Señor de toda la tierra.

Los cielos denunciaron su justicia, Y todos los pueblos vieron su gloria.

Avergüéncense todos los que sirven á las imágenes de talla, Los que se alaban de los ídolos: Los dioses todos á él se encorven.

Oyó Sión, y alegróse; Y las hijas de Judá, Oh Jehová, se gozaron por tus juicios.

Porque tú, Jehová, eres alto sobre toda la tierra: Eres muy ensalzado sobre todos los dioses.

10 Los que á Jehová amáis, aborreced el mal: Guarda él las almas de sus santos; De mano de los impíos los libra.

11 Luz está sembrada para el justo, Y alegría para los rectos de corazón.

12 Alegraos, justos, en Jehová: Y alabad la memoria de su santidad.

A Song of Praise to the Sovereign Lord

97 The Lord (A)reigns;
Let the earth rejoice;
Let the multitude of [a]isles be glad!

(B)Clouds and darkness surround Him;
(C)Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
(D)A fire goes before Him,
And burns up His enemies round about.
(E)His lightnings light the world;
The earth sees and trembles.
(F)The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
(G)The heavens declare His righteousness,
And all the peoples see His glory.

(H)Let all be put to shame who serve carved images,
Who boast of idols.
(I)Worship Him, all you gods.
Zion hears and is glad,
And the daughters of Judah rejoice
Because of Your judgments, O Lord.
For You, Lord, are (J)most high above all the earth;
(K)You are exalted far above all gods.

10 You who love the Lord, (L)hate evil!
(M)He preserves the souls of His saints;
(N)He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 (O)Light is sown for the righteous,
And gladness for the upright in heart.
12 (P)Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous,
(Q)And give thanks [b]at the remembrance of [c]His holy name.
