# Chapter 97
|
|
1 The Lord is king!
|
|
Let the earth rejoice!
|
|
Let the farthest coastlands be glad.
|
|
2 Dark clouds surround him.
|
|
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
|
|
3 Fire spreads ahead of him
|
|
and burns up all his foes.
|
|
4 His lightning flashes out across the world.
|
|
The earth sees and trembles.
|
|
5 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
|
|
before the Lord of all the earth.
|
|
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness;
|
|
every nation sees his glory.
|
|
7 Those who worship idols are disgraced—
|
|
all who brag about their worthless gods—
|
|
for every god must bow to him.
|
|
8 Jerusalem has heard and rejoiced,
|
|
and all the towns of Judah are glad
|
|
because of your justice, O Lord!
|
|
9 For you, O Lord, are supreme over all the earth;
|
|
you are exalted far above all gods.
|
|
10 You who love the Lord, hate evil!
|
|
He protects the lives of his godly people
|
|
and rescues them from the power of the wicked.
|
|
11 Light shines on the godly,
|
|
and joy on those whose hearts are right.
|
|
12 May all who are godly rejoice in the Lord
|
|
and praise his holy name! |
