Psalms 97
Open Word Bible
The LORD is King! Let the earth be glad, and the many far-off coastlands celebrate. Clouds and deep darkness surround him; his throne is built on what is right and just. Fire marches ahead of him and burns up his enemies on every side. The world is lit by the flash of his lightning; the earth sees it and quakes. In the presence of the LORD the mountains soften like wax, in the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. The skies announce that he is righteous, and every people sees his glory. Let everyone who serves carved idols be disgraced, all who brag about worthless gods; bow down before him, all you gods! Zion hears of it and is filled with joy; the towns of Judah celebrate your acts of justice, LORD. For it is you, LORD, who are Most High over the whole earth; you are lifted far above every god. All who love the LORD, hate what is evil! He watches over the lives of his faithful people and rescues them from the power of the wicked. Light is scattered like seed for the righteous, and joy for those whose hearts are true. Be glad in the LORD, you righteous people, and thank him, calling his holy name to mind.
