97 - Dominus regnavit

1   The Lord is King; let the earth be glad. 🞙
    Indeed, let the multitude of the isles be glad.

2   Clouds and darkness are round about him; 🞙
    righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.

3   There goes a fire before him 🞙
    and burns up his enemies on every side.

4   His lightnings gave light to the world; 🞙
    the earth saw it and was afraid.

5   The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, 🞙
    at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6   The heavens have declared his righteousness, 🞙
    and all the people have seen his glory.

7   Confounded be all those who worship carved images, and who delight in false gods; 🞙
    worship him, all you gods.

8   Zion heard of it and rejoiced, 🞙
    and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of your judgments, O Lord.

9   For you, Lord, are most high over all the earth; 🞙
    you are exalted far above all gods.

10  O you who love the Lord, see that you hate the thing which is evil; 🞙
    the Lord preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of the ungodly.

11  A light has sprung up for the righteous, 🞙
    and joyful gladness for those who are truehearted.

12  Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous, 🞙
    and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
