Psalms 97 · BSB

¹The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.

²Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.

³Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.

⁴His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.

⁵The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

⁶The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.

⁷All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!

⁸Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.

⁹For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

¹⁰Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

¹¹Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.

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