Psalm 97
97
1 A Psalm of David himself. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has performed wonders. His right hand has accomplished salvation for him, with his holy arm.
2 The Lord has made known his salvation. He has revealed his justice in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Sing joyfully to God, all the earth. Sing and exult, and sing psalms.
5 Sing psalms to the Lord with stringed instruments, with strings and the voice of a psalmist,
6 with subtle wind instruments and the voice of woodwinds. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king.
7 Let the sea be moved and all its fullness, the whole world and all who dwell in it.
8 The rivers will clap their hands, the mountains will exult together,
9 before the presence of the Lord. For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with justice, and the peoples with fairness.

Psalm 97
1The LORD rules! Let the earth rejoice!
Let all the islands celebrate!
2Clouds and thick darkness surround God.
His throne is built on righteousness and justice.
3Fire proceeds before him,
burning up his enemies on every side.
4His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees it and trembles!
5The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
before the Lord of the whole world!
6Heaven has proclaimed God’s righteousness,
and all nations have seen his glory.
7All those who worship images,
those who are proud of idols,
are put to shame.
All gods bow down to the Lord!
8Zion has heard and celebrates,
the towns#97.8 Or daughters of Judah rejoice,
because of your acts of justice, LORD,
9because you, LORD, are the Most High
over all the earth,
because you are so superior to all other gods.
10Those of you who love the LORD, hate evil!
God guards the lives of his faithful ones,
delivering them from the power of the wicked.
11Light is planted like seed for the righteous person;
joy too for those whose heart is right.
12Rejoice in the LORD, righteous ones!
Give thanks to his holy name!
