Psalms 97

¹The LORD is king! Earth, be glad! Rejoice, you islands of the seas!

²Clouds and darkness surround him; he rules with righteousness and justice.

³Fire goes in front of him and burns up his enemies around him.

⁴His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees it and trembles.

⁵The hills melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

⁶The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all the nations see his glory.

⁷Everyone who worships idols is put to shame; all the gods bow down before the LORD.

⁸The people of Zion are glad, and the cities of Judah rejoice because of your judgments, O LORD.

⁹LORD Almighty, you are ruler of all the earth; you are much greater than all the gods.

¹⁰The LORD loves those who hate evil; he protects the lives of his people; he rescues them from the power of the wicked.

¹¹Light shines on the righteous, and gladness on the good.

¹²All you that are righteous be glad because of what the LORD has done! Remember what the holy God has done, and give thanks to him.
