Psalm 97

Psalm 97

The Majestic King

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

2 Clouds and thick darkness surround Him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.(B)
3 Fire goes before Him
and burns up His foes on every side.(C)
4 His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.(D)
5 The mountains melt like wax
at the presence of the Lord—
at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.(E)

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

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

8 Zion hears and is glad,
and the towns[b] of Judah rejoice
because of Your judgments, Lord.(J)
9 For You, Lord,
are the Most High over all the earth;
You are exalted above all the gods.(K)

10 You who love the Lord, hate evil!(L)
He protects the lives of His godly 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 Yahweh, you righteous ones,
and praise His holy name.[e](P)

Exodus 33:18-23

18 Then Moses said, “Please, let me see Your glory.”(A)

19 He said, “I will cause all My goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim the name Yahweh before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”(B) 20 But He answered, “You cannot see My face, for no one can see(C) Me and live.” 21 The Lord said, “Here is a place near Me. You are to stand on the rock, 22 and when My glory passes by, I will put you in the crevice of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.(D) 23 Then I will take My hand away, and you will see My back, but My face will not be seen.”

John 1:14-18

14 The Word(A) became flesh[a](B)
and took up residence[b] among us.
We observed His glory,(C)
the glory as the One and Only(D) Son[c] from the Father,
full of grace and truth.
15 (John testified concerning Him and exclaimed,
“This was the One of whom I said,
‘The One coming after me(E) has surpassed me,(F)
because He existed before me.’”)(G)
16 Indeed, we have all received grace(H) after grace
from His fullness,
17 for the law was given through Moses,(I)
grace and truth(J) came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has ever seen God.[d]
The One and Only(K) Son[e]—
the One who is at the Father’s(L) side[f]—
He has revealed Him.(M)
