[fn]Worship H2331 Him, all H3605 you [fn]gods H430!
Psa 97:8
Zion H6726 [fn]heard H8085 this and was H8055 glad H8055,

He delivers H5337 them from the hand H3027 of the wicked H7563.

Light H216 is sown H2232 for the righteous H6662
And gladness H8057 for the upright H3477 in heart H3820.

Be H8055 glad H8055 in Yahweh H3068, you righteous H6662 ones H6662,
And give H3034 thanks H3034 for the remembrance H2143 of [fn]His holy H6944 name.
