Psalms 97:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 97:2

1 The Lord ^areigns;
Let the earth rejoice;
Let the multitude of¹ isles be glad!

2 ^aClouds and darkness surround Him;
^bRighteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

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.
