Psalm 97
Living Bible
97 Jehovah is King! Let all the earth rejoice! Tell the farthest islands to be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness surround him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. 3 Fire goes forth before him and burns up all his foes. 4 His lightning flashes out across the world. The earth sees and trembles. 5 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The heavens declare his perfect righteousness; every nation sees his glory.
7 Let those who worship idols be disgraced—all who brag about their worthless gods—for every god must bow to him! 8-9 Jerusalem and all the cities of Judah have heard of your justice, Lord, and are glad that you reign in majesty over the entire earth and are far greater than these other gods.
10 The Lord loves those who hate evil; he protects the lives of his people and rescues them from the wicked. 11 Light is sown for the godly and joy for the good. 12 May all who are godly be happy in the Lord and crown him,[a] our holy God.

Guds hellighed og magt
97 Herren er konge, lad jorden juble!
Lad de fjerne lande glæde sig!
2 Skyer og mørke omslutter ham,
retfærdighed og ret er hans trones grundvold.
3 Foran ham kommer der en ild,
som opbrænder alle hans fjender.
4 Hans lyn oplyser verden,
jorden ser det og bæver.
5 Bjergene smelter af frygt foran ham,
for han er den Almægtige, jordens Herre.
6 Himlene udråber hans godhed,
folkene ser hans herlighed.
7 De, som beder til afguder, bliver til skamme,
de praler af deres håbløse guder,
men alle afguder bliver underlagt Herren.
8 Jerusalem skal høre det og glæde sig,
Judas byer skal fryde sig,
for du, Herre, er en retfærdig dommer.
9 Du er den højeste magt i verden,
ingen guder kan måle sig med dig.
10 I, der elsker Herren, skal tage afstand fra det onde,
for han beskytter dem, der adlyder ham,
han redder dem ud af de gudløses kløer.
11 De retsindige oplever Guds lys,
de oprigtige har grund til at glæde sig.
12 Glæd jer i Herren, I retskafne,
lovsyng hans hellige navn.
