BSB ▾Psalm ▾97 ▾Psalm 971The Lord 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 the Lord , 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 idols. Worship Him, all you gods!8Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O Lord .9For You, O Lord , are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.10Hate evil, O you who love the Lord ! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.11Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.12Rejoice in the Lord , you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.Psalm 96Psalm 98
