Psalm 97:1-5

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

97 The Lord reigns; let the earth rejoice;
    let the many coastlands be glad!
² Clouds and thick darkness are round about him;
    righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
³ Fire goes before him,
    and burns up his adversaries round about.
⁴ His lightnings lighten the world;
    the earth sees and trembles.
⁵ The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
    before the Lord of all the earth.
