Psalms Chapter 97

The Omnipotent LORD Reigns
1   The LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of coastlands be glad.
2   Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the habitation of his throne.
3   A fire goes before him, and burns up his enemies round about.
4   His lightnings light up the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5   The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6   The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
7   Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all you gods.
8   Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, O LORD.
9   For you, LORD, are high above all the earth: you are exalted far above all gods.
10   You that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserves  the  souls  of  his  holy ones;  he  delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11   Light  is  sown  for  the  righteous,  and gladness for the upright in heart.
12   Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
