Psalm 97

from Kabbalat Shabbat by Ari Lesser

/

lyrics

Let the world rejoice, because HASHEM is King
Let the many islands, all be happy and sing
Thick cloud and darkness, always surround His place
On righteousness and justice, His throne is based

Before His face, fire goes forth, coming down
And the flame consumes His tormentors all around
The earth it gets lit up by the lightning bolts He hurls
They see and they tremble, those dwelling in the world

Before the face of HASHEM, mountains made of granite
Melt away like wax, before the master of the planet
By the very heavens, His righteousness is declared
And His glory is apparent to the peoples everywhere

All idol worshippers who take pride in Elilim
Will be put to shame, they’ll bow to Him, every elokim
O HASHEM, Tzion, and all Yehudah’s towns
Will jump with joy, when they hear the judgments You laid down

Because, over all the earth, HASHEM, You are Supreme
You’re elevated high above every elokim
O lovers of HASHEM, hate evil, for He stands
Guarding souls of His devout, saves them from wicked hands

Just like a seed for the righteous, He sows light
He sows happiness for the hearts of the upright
O righteous ones rejoice in HASHEM and proclaim
Grateful praise at the mention of His Holy Name
