Psalms 97
Open in the reader1He-Who-Is 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 He-Who-Is, 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 worthless-idols. Worship Him, all you gods!
8Marker hears and rejoices, and the towns of Praised exult because of Your judgments, O He-Who-Is.
9For You, O He-Who-Is, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.
10Hate evil, O you who love He-Who-Is! He preserves the souls of His devoted ones; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.
12Rejoice in He-Who-Is, you righteous ones, and praise His devoted name.
