Psalm 97
Yahweh reigns; let the earth rejoice;
Let the multitude of isles be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness are all around him:
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 A fire goes before him,
And burns up his adversaries all around.
4 His lightnings lightened the world:
The earth saw, and trembled.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Yahweh,
At the presence of the Sovereign of the whole earth.
6 The heavens declare his righteousness,
And all the peoples have seen his glory.
7 Let all them be put to shame that serve graven images,
That boast themselves of idols:
Worship him, all you elohim.
8 Zion heard and was glad,
And the daughters of Judah rejoiced,
Because of your judgments, O Yahweh.
9 For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth:
You are exalted far above all elohim.
10 O you that love Yahweh, hate evil:
He preserves the souls of his saints;
He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous,
And gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous;
And give thanks to his holy memorial name.
Psalm 98
O sing to Yahweh a new song;
For he has done marvelous things:
His right hand, and his holy arm, has worked salvation for him.
2 Yahweh has made known his salvation:
His righteousness has he openly showed in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered his lovingkindness and his faithfulness toward the house Of Israel:
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our Elohim.
4 Make a joyful noise to Yahweh, all the earth:
Break forth and sing for joy, yes, sing praises.
5 Sing praises to Yahweh with the harp;
With the harp and the voice of melody.
6 With trumpets and sound of cornet
Make a joyful noise before the King, Yahweh.
7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness of it;
The world, and they that dwell in it;
8 Let the floods clap their hands;
Let the hills sing for joy together
9 Before Yahweh; for he comes to judge the earth:
He will judge the world with righteousness,
And the peoples with equity.
Psalm 99
Yahweh reigns; let the peoples tremble:
He sits above the cherubim; let the earth be moved.
2 Yahweh is great in Zion;
And he is high above all the peoples.
3 Let them praise your great and terrible name:
Holy is he.
4 The king’s strength also loves justice;
You did establish equity;
You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Exalt Yahweh our Elohim,
And worship at his footstool:
Holy is he.
6 Moses and Aaron among his priests,
And Samuel among them that call upon his name;
They called upon Yahweh, and he answered them.
7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud:
They kept his testimonies,
And the statute that he gave them.
8 You answered them, O Yahweh our Elohim:
You were El that forgave them,
Though you took vengeance of their doings.
9 Exalt Yahweh our Elohim,
And worship at his holy hill;
For Yahweh our Elohim is holy.
