King James Version
Psalm 97
King James Version
97 The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O Lord.
9 For thou, Lord, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

97 ¡El Señor es rey!
¡Regocíjese la tierra!
¡Alégrense las costas más remotas!
2 Oscuros nubarrones lo rodean;
la rectitud y la justicia son la base de su trono.
3 El fuego va delante de él
y consume a los adversarios que lo rodean.
4 Sus relámpagos iluminan el mundo;
al verlos, la tierra se estremece.
5 Ante el Señor, dueño de toda la tierra,
las montañas se derriten como cera.
6 Los cielos proclaman su justicia,
y todos los pueblos contemplan su gloria.
7 Sean avergonzados todos los idólatras,
los que se jactan de sus ídolos inútiles.
¡Póstrense ante él todos los dioses!
8 Señor, a causa de tus juicios
Sión escucha esto y se alegra,
y las ciudades de Judá se regocijan.
9 Porque tú eres el Señor Altísimo,
por encima de toda la tierra.
¡Tú estás muy por encima de todos los dioses!
