Psalms 96:1-9

¹(97) For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.

²Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne.

³Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.

⁴His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled.

⁵The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

⁶The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.

⁷Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all you° his angels.

⁸Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of your judgments, O Lord.

⁹For you are Lord most high over all the earth; you are greatly exalted above all gods.
