Psalms 97 / 150
- 1The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice.
- 2Clouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
- 3Fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side.
- 4His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.
- 5The mountains melt like wax before the LORD , before the Lord of all the earth.
- 6The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.
- 7All who worship images are put to shame, those who boast in idols- worship him, all you gods!
- 8Zion hears and rejoices and the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments, O LORD .
- 9For you, O LORD , are the Most High over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods.
- 10Let 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.
- 11Light is shed upon the righteous and joy on the upright in heart.
- 12Rejoice in the LORD , you who are righteous, and praise his holy name.
