Psalms 97 · Clearspring

Let the Earth Rejoice

¹The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.+ ²Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.+ ³Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.+ ⁴His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.+ ⁵The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.+ ⁶The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.+ ⁷All worshipers of images are put to shame — those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!+ ⁸Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.+ ⁹For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.+ ¹⁰Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.+ ¹¹Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.+ ¹²Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.+
