Psalms 97:5

Compare all

3 ^aA fire goes before Him,
And burns up His enemies round about.

4 ^aHis lightnings light the world;
The earth sees and trembles.

5 ^aThe mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 ^aThe heavens declare His righteousness,
And all the peoples see His glory.

7 ^aLet all be put to shame who serve carved images,
Who boast of idols.
^bWorship Him, all you gods.

8 Zion hears and is glad,
And the daughters of Judah rejoice
Because of Your judgments, O Lord.

9 For You, Lord, are ^amost high above all the earth;
^bYou are exalted far above all gods.

10 You who love the Lord, ^ahate evil!
^bHe preserves the souls of His saints;
^cHe delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

11 ^aLight is sown for the righteous,
And gladness for the upright in heart.

12 ^aRejoice in the Lord, you righteous,
^bAnd give thanks¹ at the remembrance of His holy name.
