2 Clouds and thick darkness surround him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire goes before him
and consumes his foes on every side.
and consumes his foes on every side.
4 His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
before the Lord of all the earth.
before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
and all peoples see his glory.
and all peoples see his glory.
9 For you, Lord, are the Most High over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.
you are exalted far above all gods.
10 Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous,
and praise his holy name.
and praise his holy name.
Psalms, 97 psalm
