Psalms - Chapter 97 | New International Version

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