Psalm 97      selected verses              

The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice;

The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory. For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods.

O you who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!
