Psalms 97

Chapter 97

The LORD'S Power and Dominion.

^1 (C1)The LORD ^(F1)reigns, may the ^(C2)earth rejoice;
May the many ^(F2)(C3)islands be joyful.

^2 (C1)Clouds and thick darkness surround Him;
^(C2)Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

^3 (C1)Fire goes before Him
And ^(C2)burns up His enemies all around.

⁴ His ^(C1)lightning lit up the world;
The earth saw it and ^(C2)trembled.

⁵ The mountains ^(C1)melted like wax at the presence of the LORD,
At the presence of the ^(C2)Lord of the whole earth.

⁶ The ^(C1)heavens declare His righteousness,
And ^(C2)all the peoples have seen His glory.

⁷ May all those be ashamed who serve ^(C1)carved images,
Who boast in ^(C2)idols;
^(F1)(C3)Worship Him, all you ^(F2)gods.

⁸ Zion ^(F1)heard this and ^(C1)was joyful,
And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced
Because of Your judgments, LORD.

⁹ For You are the LORD ^(C1)Most High over all the earth;
You are exalted far ^(C2)above all ^(F1)gods.

^10 (C1)Hate evil, you who love the LORD,
Who ^(C2)watches over the souls of His godly ones;
He ^(C3)saves them from the hand of the wicked.

^11 (C1)Light is sown like seed for the righteous,
And ^(C2)gladness for the upright in heart.

¹² Be ^(C1)joyful in the LORD, you righteous ones,
And ^(C2)praise ^(F1)the mention of His holy name.

Message to Ephesus

¹ "To the angel of the church in ^(C1)Ephesus write: The One who holds ^(C2)the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks ^(F1)(C3)among the seven golden lampstands, says this:

² '^(C1)I know your deeds and your labor and ^(F1)perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil people, and you have ^(C2)put those who call themselves ^(C3)apostles to the test, and they are not, and you found them to be false;³ and you have ^(F1)perseverance and have endured ^(C1)on account of My name, and have not become weary.⁴ 'But I have this against you, that you have ^(C1)left your first love.⁵ 'Therefore, remember from where you have fallen, and ^(C1)repent, and ^(C2)do the ^(F1)deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and I will remove your ^(C3)lampstand from its place—unless you repent.⁶ 'But you have this, that you hate the deeds of the ^(C1)Nicolaitans, which I also hate.⁷ '^(C1)The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. ^(C2)To the one who overcomes, I will grant to eat from ^(C3)the tree of life, which is in the ^(C4)Paradise of God.'

Message to Smyrna

⁸ "And to the angel of the church in ^(C1)Smyrna write: ^(C2)The first and the last, who ^(F1)(C3)was dead, and has come to life, says this:

⁹ 'I know your ^(C1)tribulation and your ^(C2)poverty (but you are ^(C2)rich), and the ^(F1)slander by those who ^(C3)say they are Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of ^(C4)Satan.¹⁰ 'Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, so that you will be ^(C1)tested, and you will have tribulation ^(C2)for ten days. ^(F1)Be ^(C3)faithful until death, and I will give you ^(C4)the crown of life.¹¹ '^(C1)The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. ^(C2)The one who overcomes will not be hurt by the ^(C3)second death.'

Message to Pergamum

¹² "And to the angel of the church in ^(C1)Pergamum write: The One who has ^(C2)the sharp two-edged sword says this:

¹³ 'I know where you dwell, where ^(C1)Satan's throne is; and you hold firmly to My name, and did not deny ^(C2)My faith even in the days of Antipas, My ^(C3)witness, My ^(C4)faithful one, who was killed among you, ^(C5)where Satan dwells.¹⁴ 'But ^(C1)I have a few things against you, because you have some there who hold the ^(C2)teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a ^(F1)stumbling block before the sons of Israel, ^(C3)to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality.¹⁵ 'So you too, have some who in the same way hold to the teaching of the ^(C1)Nicolaitans.¹⁶ 'Therefore ^(C1)repent; or else ^(C2)I am coming to you quickly, and I will wage war against them with ^(C3)the sword of My mouth.¹⁷ '^(C1)The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. ^(C1)To the one who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden ^(C2)manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a ^(C3)new name written on the stone ^(C4)which no one knows except the one who receives it.'

Message to Thyatira

¹⁸ "And to the angel of the church in ^(C1)Thyatira write: ^(C2)The Son of God, ^(C3)who has ^(F1)eyes like a flame of fire, and ^(F2)feet like burnished bronze, says this:

¹⁹ '^(C1)I know your deeds, and your love and faith, and service and ^(F1)perseverance, and that your ^(F2)deeds of late are greater than ^(F3)at first.²⁰ 'But ^(C1)I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman ^(C2)Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they ^(C3)commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.²¹ '^(C1)I gave her time to repent, and she ^(C2)does not want to repent of her sexual immorality.²² 'Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who ^(C1)commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of ^(F1)her deeds.²³ 'And I will kill her children with ^(F1)plague, and all the churches will know that I am He who ^(C1)searches the ^(F2)minds and hearts; and ^(C2)I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.²⁴ 'But I say to you, the rest who are in ^(C1)Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the ^(C2)deep things of Satan, as they call them—I ^(C3)place no other burden on you.²⁵ 'Nevertheless ^(C1)what you have, hold firmly ^(C2)until I come.²⁶ '^(C1)The one who overcomes, and the one who keeps My deeds ^(C2)until the end, ^(C3)I will give him authority over the ^(F1)nations;²⁷ AND HE SHALL ^(F1)(C1)RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, ^(C2)AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE SHATTERED, as I also have received authority from My Father;²⁸ and I will give him ^(C1)the morning star.²⁹ '^(C1)The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'
