97:1 耶和華作王！願地快樂！願眾海島歡喜！
97:2 密雲和幽暗在他的四圍；公義和公平是他寶座的根基。
97:3 有烈火在他前頭行，燒滅他四圍的敵人。
97:4 他的閃電光照世界，大地看見便震動。
97:5 諸山見耶和華的面，就是全地之主的面，便消化如蠟。
97:6 諸天表明他的公義；萬民看見他的榮耀。
97:7 願一切事奉雕刻的偶像、靠虛無之神自誇的，都蒙羞愧。萬神哪，你們都當拜他。
97:8 耶和華啊，錫安聽見你的判斷就歡喜；猶大的城邑（原文是女子）也都快樂。
97:9 因為你─耶和華至高，超乎全地；你被尊崇，遠超萬神之上。
97:10 你們愛耶和華的，都當恨惡罪惡；他保護聖民的性命，搭救他們脫離惡人的手。
97:11 散布亮光是為義人；預備喜樂是為正直人。
97:12 你們義人當靠耶和華歡喜，稱謝他可記念的聖名。

1 The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad;
let the distant shores rejoice.
2 Clouds and thick darkness surround him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire goes before him
and consumes his foes on every side.
4 His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
and all peoples see his glory.
let the distant shores rejoice.
2 Clouds and thick darkness surround him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire goes before him
and consumes his foes on every side.
4 His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
and all peoples see his glory.
7 All
who worship images are put to shame,
those who boast in idols—
worship him, all you gods!
those who boast in idols—
worship him, all you gods!
8 Zion
hears and rejoices
and the villages of Judah are glad
because of your judgments, Lord.
9 For you, Lord, are the Most High over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.
10 Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light shines on the righteous
and joy on the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous,
and praise his holy name.
and the villages of Judah are glad
because of your judgments, Lord.
9 For you, Lord, are the Most High over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.
10 Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light shines on the righteous
and joy on the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous,
and praise his holy name.

詩人宣告上帝的威嚴和大能，更宣告上帝的子民該有的特質：「你們愛耶和華的，都當恨惡罪惡；他保護聖民的性命，搭救他們脫離惡人的手。散布亮光是為義人；預備喜樂是為正直人。你們義人當靠耶和華歡喜，稱謝他可記念的聖名。」
因此，我們要成為上帝真正的兒女就是要「恨惡罪惡」！自從亞當夏娃犯罪以來，罪惡就進入了人的生命，所以不管事我們的靈魂或身體，都是被罪惡所污染了！也因為這樣人就會讓自己沉溺在罪中之樂，沒有一顆追求認識真理的心！就像詩篇14篇1-2節所說：「耶和華從天上垂看世人，要看有明白的沒有，有尋求上帝的沒有。他們都偏離正路，一同變為污穢；並沒有行善的，連一個也沒有。」
也因為這樣，我們都需要上帝透過耶穌基督來拯救我們！而要得到拯救之先，必須要有一顆悔改的心，這個悔改的心是因為明白上帝是聖潔的，要除去罪惡才能與上帝和好，所以會恨惡罪惡！正如先知以賽亞，在聖殿遇見上帝時，恨惡罪惡，所以說：「禍哉！我滅亡了！因為我是嘴唇不潔的人，又住在嘴唇不潔的民中，又因我眼見大君王─萬軍之耶和華。」(6:5)所以需要天使透過祭壇上來的火炭來除罪，也就是罪惡要對付清楚，才能被上帝所使用！
今天上帝透過耶穌基督的十字架，將罪惡對付清楚，我們才能與上帝和好，被上帝接納為兒女、為後嗣！所以，我們不是指是外表自稱是基督徒，去教會聚會就好，更要真真實實已靠耶穌基督的拯救，與上帝有和好的關係，才是真正得拯救的人！因此，我們要恨惡罪惡，在聖靈裡靠耶穌基督的恩典悔改歸向上帝！
