Psalm 97:1-5

[1]   The LORD is king! Let the earth rejoice;  

          let the many coastlands be glad!  

[2]   Clouds and thick darkness are all around him;  

          righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.  

[3]   Fire goes before him,  

          and consumes his adversaries on every side.  

[4]   His lightnings light up the world;  

          the earth sees and trembles.  

[5]   The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,  

          before the Lord of all the earth.
