Psalms 97,98,99

Psalms 97

1The LORD reigns! Let the earth rejoice; let the many coasts and islands be glad.

2Clouds and total darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

3Fire goes before him and burns up his foes on every side.

4His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.

5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD  — at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6The heavens proclaim his righteousness; all the peoples see his glory.

7All who serve carved images, those who boast in idols, will be put to shame. All the gods must worship him.

8Zion hears and is glad, Judah’s villages rejoice because of your judgments, LORD.

9For you, LORD, are the Most High over the whole earth; you are exalted above all the gods.

10You who love the LORD, hate evil! He protects the lives of his faithful ones; he rescues them from the power of the wicked.

11Light dawns for the righteous, gladness for the upright in heart.

12Be glad in the LORD, you righteous ones, and give thanks to his holy name.

Psalms 98

1A psalm. [1] Sing a new song to the LORD, for he has performed wonders; his right hand and holy arm have won him victory.

2The LORD has made his victory known; he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

3He has remembered his love and faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen our God’s victory.

4Let the whole earth shout to the LORD; be jubilant, shout for joy, and sing.

5Sing to the LORD with the lyre, with the lyre and melodious song.

6With trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn shout triumphantly in the presence of the LORD, our King.

7Let the sea and all that fills it, the world and those who live in it, resound.

8Let the rivers clap their hands; let the mountains shout together for joy

9before the LORD, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world righteously and the peoples fairly.

Psalms 99

1The LORD reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He is enthroned between the cherubim. Let the earth quake.

2The LORD is great in Zion; he is exalted above all the peoples.

3Let them praise your great and awe-inspiring name. He is holy.

4The mighty King loves justice. You have established fairness; you have administered justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5Exalt the LORD our God; bow in worship at his footstool. He is holy.

6Moses and Aaron were among his priests; Samuel also was among those calling on his name. They called to the LORD and he answered them.

7He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud; they kept his decrees and the statutes he gave them.

8LORD our God, you answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, but an avenger of their sinful actions.

9Exalt the LORD our God; bow in worship at his holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
