97:1  The LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of islands be glad.

97:2  Clouds and darkness are all around Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

97:3  A fire goes before Him and burns up His enemies round about.

97:4  His lightnings light up the world; the earth saw and trembled.

97:5  The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

97:6  The heavens declare His righteousness, and all the people see His glory.

97:7  All those who serve graven images are ashamed who boast themselves in idols; bow down to Him, all you gods.

97:8  Zion heard and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of Your judgments, O LORD,

97:9  For You, LORD, are most high above all the earth; You are exalted high above all gods.

97:10  You who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

97:11  Light is sown for the righteous and gladness for the upright in heart.

97:12  Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.
