Sálmarnir 97
Icelandic Bible
97 Drottinn er konungur orðinn! jörðin fagni, eyjafjöldinn gleðjist.
2 Ský og sorti eru umhverfis hann, réttlæti og réttvísi eru grundvöllur hásætis hans,
3 eldur fer fyrir honum og bálast umhverfis spor hans.
4 Leiftur hans lýsa um jarðríki, jörðin sér það og nötrar.
5 Björgin bráðna sem vax fyrir Drottni, fyrir Drottni gjörvallrar jarðarinnar.
6 Himnarnir kunngjöra réttlæti hans, og allar þjóðir sjá dýrð hans.
7 Allir skurðgoðadýrkendur verða til skammar, þeir er stæra sig af falsguðunum. Allir guðir falla fram fyrir honum.
8 Síon heyrir það og gleðst, Júdadætur fagna sakir dóma þinna, Drottinn.
9 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.
