Salmos 97

Bible in Basic English

1The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.

2Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.

3Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.

4His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.

5The mountains became like wax at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the Lord of all the earth.

6The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw his glory.

7Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.

8Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.

9For you, Lord, are most high over the earth; you are lifted up over all other gods.

10You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.

11Light is shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.

12Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.

Reina-Valera 1909

1JEHOVÁ reinó: regocíjese la tierra: alégrense las muchas islas.

2Nube y oscuridad alrededor de él: justicia y juicio son el asiento de su trono.

3Fuego irá delante de él, y abrasará en derredor sus enemigos.

4Sus relámpagos alumbraron el mundo: la tierra vió, y estremecióse.

5Los montes se derritieron como cera delante de Jehová, delante del Señor de toda la tierra.

6Los cielos denunciaron su justicia, y todos los pueblos vieron su gloria.

7Avergüéncense todos los que sirven á las imágenes de talla, los que se alaban de los ídolos: los dioses todos á él se encorven.

8Oyó Sión, y alegróse; y las hijas de Judá, oh Jehová, se gozaron por tus juicios.

9Porque tú, Jehová, eres alto sobre toda la tierra: eres muy ensalzado sobre todos los dioses.

10Los que á Jehová amáis, aborreced el mal: guarda él las almas de sus santos; de mano de los impíos los libra.

11Luz está sembrada para el justo, y alegría para los rectos de corazón.

12Alegraos, justos, en Jehová: y alabad la memoria de su santidad.

King James Version

1The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

2Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

3A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.

4His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

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

6The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

7Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.

8Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.

9For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.

10Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

11Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

12Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
