97:1  The LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad!

97:2  Clouds and thick darkness are round about him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

97:3  Fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries round about.

97:4  His lightnings lighten the world; the earth sees and trembles.

97:5  The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

97:6  The heavens proclaim his righteousness; and all the peoples behold his glory.

97:7  All worshipers of images are put to shame, who make their boast in worthless idols; all gods bow down before him.

97:8  Zion hears and is glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of thy judgments, O God.

97:9  For thou, O LORD, art most high over all the earth; thou art exalted far above all gods.

97:10  The LORD loves those who hate evil; he preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

97:11  Light dawns for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.

97:12  Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!
