Psalm 97

¹ The LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of coastlands be glad.

² Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the habitation of his throne.

³ A fire goes before him, and burns up his enemies round about.

⁴ His lightnings light up the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

⁵ The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

⁶ The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

⁷ Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all you gods.

⁸ Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, O LORD.

⁹ For you, LORD, are high above all the earth: you are exalted far above all gods.

¹⁰ You that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserves the souls of his saints; he delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

¹¹ Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

¹² Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
