Psalms 97:1-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 97
1The Lord reigns, may the earth rejoice; May the many islands be joyful. 2Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. 3Fire goes before Him And burns up His enemies all around. 4His lightning lit up the world; The earth saw it and trembled. 5The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 6The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory. 7May all those be ashamed who serve carved images, Who boast in idols; Worship Him, all you gods.King James Version
Chapter 97
1The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. 2Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. 3A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. 4His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. 5The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 6The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. 7Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.Christian Standard Bible

1The Lord is king! Let the earth rejoice! Let the farthest coastlands be glad. 2Dark clouds surround him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. 3Fire spreads ahead of him and burns up all his foes. 4His lightning flashes out across the world. The earth sees and trembles. 5The mountains melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth. 6The heavens proclaim his righteousness; every nation sees his glory. 7Those who worship idols are disgraced — all who brag about their worthless gods — for every god must bow to him.English Standard Version
