Psalms 97:1-5 ▼

1 The LORD reigns! Let the earth rejoice; let the many coasts and islands be glad.

2 Clouds and total darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

3 Fire goes before him and burns up his foes on every side.

4 His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.

5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD — at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
