97 The Lord is King!
    Tell the earth to celebrate
    and all islands to shout.
² Dark clouds surround him,
    and his throne is supported
    by justice and fairness.
³ Fire leaps from his throne,
    destroying his enemies,
⁴ and his lightning is so bright
    that the earth sees it
    and trembles.
⁵ Mountains melt away like wax
    in the presence of the Lord
    of all the earth.

¹¹ If you obey and do right,
a light will show you the way
    and fill you with happiness.
¹² You are the Lord’s people!
    So celebrate and praise
    the only God.
