97Psalms · Contemporary English Version (2006)

¹The Lord is King! Tell the earth to celebrate and all islands to shout.

²Dark clouds surround him, and his throne is supported by justice and fairness.

³Fire leaps from his throne, destroying his enemies,

⁴and his lightning is so bright that the earth sees it and trembles.

⁵Mountains melt away like wax in the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

⁶The heavens announce, “The Lord brings justice!” Everyone sees God's glory.

⁷Those who brag about the useless idols they worship are terribly ashamed, and all the false gods bow down to the Lord.

⁸When the people of Zion and of the towns of Judah hear that God brings justice, they will celebrate.

⁹The Lord rules the whole earth, and he is more glorious than all the false gods.

¹⁰Love the Lord and hate evil! God protects his loyal people and rescues them from violence.

¹¹If you obey and do right, a light will show you the way and fill you with happiness.

¹²You are the Lord's people! So celebrate and praise the only God.
