Psalms 97:1-8 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1. The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; Let the many islands be glad.

2. Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

3. Fire goes before Him And burns up His adversaries round about.

4. His lightnings lit up the world; The earth saw and trembled.

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

6. The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.

7. Let all those be ashamed who serve graven images, Who boast themselves of idols; Worship Him, all you gods.

8. Zion heard this and was glad, And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced Because of Your judgments, O Lord.
