Psalms 97
Ready to read
1
The LORD is king! Let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad!
2
Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3
Fire goes before him, and consumes his adversaries on every side.
4
His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles.
5
The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
6
The heavens proclaim his righteousness; and all the peoples behold his glory.
7
All worshipers of images are put to shame, those who make their boast in worthless idols; all gods bow down before him.
8
Zion hears and is glad, and the towns [1] of Judah rejoice, because of your judgments, O God.
9
For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods.
10
The LORD loves those who hate [2] evil; he guards the lives of his faithful; he rescues them from the hand of the wicked.
11
Light dawns [3] for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
12
Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!
