Psalm 97
The Majestic King

The LORD reigns! Let the earth rejoice;

let the many coasts and islands be glad.

Clouds and total darkness surround him;

righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

Fire goes before him

and burns up his foes on every side.

His lightning lights up the world;

the earth sees and trembles.

The mountains melt like wax

at the presence of the LORD —

at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

The heavens proclaim his righteousness;

all the peoples see his glory.

All who serve carved images,

those who boast in worthless idols, will be put to shame.

All the gods[fn] must worship him.

Zion hears and is glad,

Judah’s villages[fn] rejoice

because of your judgments, LORD.

For you, LORD,

are the Most High over the whole earth;

you are exalted above all the gods.

10 You who love the LORD, hate evil!

He protects the lives of his faithful ones;

he rescues them from the power of the wicked.

11 Light dawns[fn][fn] for the righteous,

gladness for the upright in heart.

12 Be glad in the LORD, you righteous ones,

and give thanks to his holy name.[fn]
