Psalms 97:2-12

²Clouds and darkness are round about him, justice and right are the base of his throne.

³Fire goes before him, and blazes around his steps,

⁴his lightnings illumine the world: the earth quakes at the sight.

⁵Mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth.

⁶The heavens proclaim his justice, all nations behold his glory.

⁷Shamed are all image-worshippers, who make a boast of their idols. All the gods bow before him.

⁸Zion is glad at the tidings, the towns of Judah rejoice because of your judgments, Lord.

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

¹⁰The Lord loves those who hate evil, he guards the lives of the faithful: from the hand of the wicked he saves them.

¹¹Light arises for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.

¹²Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous: give thanks to his holy name.
