97 Drottinn er konungur orðinn! jörðin fagni, eyjafjöldinn gleðjist.

Ský og sorti eru umhverfis hann, réttlæti og réttvísi eru grundvöllur hásætis hans,

eldur fer fyrir honum og bálast umhverfis spor hans.

Leiftur hans lýsa um jarðríki, jörðin sér það og nötrar.

Björgin bráðna sem vax fyrir Drottni, fyrir Drottni gjörvallrar jarðarinnar.

Himnarnir kunngjöra réttlæti hans, og allar þjóðir sjá dýrð hans.

Allir skurðgoðadýrkendur verða til skammar, þeir er stæra sig af falsguðunum. Allir guðir falla fram fyrir honum.

Síon heyrir það og gleðst, Júdadætur fagna sakir dóma þinna, Drottinn.

Því að þú, Drottinn, ert Hinn hæsti yfir gjörvallri jörðunni, þú ert hátt hafinn yfir alla guði.

10 Drottinn elskar þá er hata hið illa, hann verndar sálir dýrkenda sinna, frelsar þá af hendi óguðlegra.

11 Ljós rennur upp réttlátum og gleði hjartahreinum.

12 Gleðjist, þér réttlátir, yfir Drottni, vegsamið hans heilaga nafn.

The Majestic King

97 The Lord reigns! Let the earth rejoice;
let the many coasts and islands be glad.(A)

Clouds and total darkness surround him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.(B)
Fire goes before him
and burns up his foes on every side.(C)
His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.(D)
The mountains melt like wax
at the presence of the Lord
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.(E)

The heavens proclaim his righteousness;(F)
all the peoples see his glory.(G)

All who serve carved images,
those who boast in worthless idols, will be put to shame.(H)
All the gods[a] must worship him.(I)

Zion hears and is glad,
Judah’s villages[b] rejoice
because of your judgements, Lord.(J)
For you, Lord,
are the Most High over the whole earth;
you are exalted above all the gods.(K)

10 You who love the Lord, hate evil!(L)
He protects the lives of his faithful ones;(M)
he rescues them from the power of the wicked.(N)
11 Light dawns[c][d] for the righteous,
gladness for the upright in heart.(O)
12 Be glad in the Lord, you righteous ones,
and give thanks to his holy name.[e](P)
