Psalm 96 (97)

1 For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice. 2 Cloud and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne. 3 Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about. 4 His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled. 5 The mountains 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 Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all ye his angels. 8 Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of thy judgments, O Lord. 9 For thou art Lord most high over all the earth; thou art greatly exalted above all gods. 10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners. 11 Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 12 Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.

Psalm 97 (98)

1 A Psalm of David. Sing to the Lord a new song; for the Lord has wrought wonderful works, his right hand, and his holy arm, have wrought salvation for him. 2 The Lord has made known his salvation, he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations. 3 He has remembered his mercy to Jacob, and his truth to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 4 Shout to God, all the earth; sing, and exult, and sing psalms. 5 Sing to the Lord with a harp, with a harp, and the voice of a psalm. 6 With trumpets of metal, and the sound of a trumpet of horn make a joyful noise to the Lord before the king. 7 Let the sea be moved, and the fulness of it; the world, and they that dwell in it. 8 The rivers shall clap their hands together; the mountains shall exult. 9 For he is come to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the nations in uprightness.

Psalm 98 (99)

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord reigns;—let the people rage; [it is he] that sits upon the cherubs, let the earth be moved. 2 The Lord is great in Sion, and is high over all the people. 3 Let them give thanks to thy great name; for it is terrible and holy. 4 And the king's honour loves judgment; thou hast prepared equity, thou hast wrought judgment and justice in Jacob. 5 Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship [at] his footstool; for he is holy. 6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the Lord, and he heard them. 7 He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud; they kept his testimonies, and the ordinances which he gave them. 8 O Lord our God, thou heardest them; O God, thou becamest propitious to them, though thou didst take vengeance on all their devices. 9 Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy.
