Psalm 97 YHWH reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad! Clouds and darkness are around ʜɪᴍ. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of ʜɪꜱ throne. A fire goes before ʜɪᴍ, and burns up ʜɪꜱ adversaries on every side. Hɪꜱ lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles. The mountains melt like wax at the presence of YHWH, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. The heavens declare ʜɪꜱ righteousness. All the peoples have seen ʜɪꜱ glory. Let all who serve graven images be shamed, and those who boast in worthless idols. All y’all gods must worship ʜɪᴍ!

 

Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, YHWH. For you, YHWH, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods. Y’all who love YHWH must hate evil! Hᴇ preserves the souls of ʜɪꜱ faithful ones. Hᴇ delivers them from the hand of the wicked. Light is planted for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Y’all be glad in YHWH, O righteous ones! Y’all give thanks to ʜɪꜱ holy Name.
