Psalm 97

The Lord is King;

let the earth rejoice; *

let the multitude of the isles be glad.

Clouds and darkness are round about him, *

righteousness and justice are the foundations of his throne.

A fire goes before him *

and burns up his enemies on every side.

His lightnings light up the world; *

the earth sees it and is afraid.

Light has sprung up for the righteous, *

and joyful gladness for those who are truehearted.

Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous, *

and give thanks to his holy Name.
