97:1 The LORD reigns;let the earth rejoice;let the many coastlands be glad! 97:2 Clouds and thick darkness are round about him;righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. 97:3 Fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries round about. 97:4 His lightnings lighten the world;the earth sees and trembles. 97:5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth. 97:6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness;and all the peoples behold his glory. 97:7 All worshipers of images are put to shame, who make their boast in worthless idols;all gods bow down before him. 97:8 Zion hears and is glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of thy judgments, O God. 97:9 For thou, O LORD, art most high over all the earth;thou art exalted far above all gods. 97:10 The LORD loves those who hate evil;he preserves the lives of his saints;he delivers them from the hand of the wicked. 97:11 Light dawns for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart. 97:12 Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!
