Psalm 97
Bishops' Bible of 1568 Par ▾ 

Let the Earth Rejoice

1God raigneth, the earth shalbe glad: the multitude of the Iles shalbe glad therof.

2Cloudes and thicke darknesse are rounde about hym: iustice and iudgement are the habitation of his throne.

3There goeth a fire before his face: and burneth his enemies on euery syde.

4His lightninges gaue a lyght vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and trembled.

5The hylles melted lyke waxe at the presence of God: at the presence of the Lorde of the whole earth.

6The heauens haue declared his iustice: and all the people haue seene his glorie.

7Confounded be all they that do seruice vnto carued images: and that do glorie in idols, but O gods, you all shall worshyp hym.

8Sion hearde of it, and reioyced: and the daughters of Iuda be glad, because of thy iudgementes O God.

9For thou art a God hygher then all that are in the earth: thou art exalted farre aboue all gods.

10You that loue God, hate the thyng which is euyll: he preserueth the soules of his saintes, he wyll delyuer them from the hande of the vngodly.

11There is sowen a lyght for the ryghteous: and gladnesse for such as be vpryght of heart.

12Reioyce in God O ye ryghteous: and prayse hym at the remembraunce of his holynesse.
