Psalm 96:10-97:12 - Heartlight

¹⁰Declare among the nations: “The LORD reigns!”

The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved;

He will judge the peoples with equity.

¹¹Let the heavens be glad

and the earth rejoice;

let the sea resound,

and all that fills it.

¹²Let the fields exult,

and all that is in them.

Then all the trees of the forest

will sing for joy

¹³before the LORD,

for He is coming—

He is coming to judge the earth.

He will judge the world in righteousness

and the peoples in His faithfulness.

¹The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice;

let the distant shores be glad.

²Clouds and darkness surround Him;

righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.

³Fire goes before Him

and consumes His foes on every side.

⁴His lightning illuminates the world;

the earth sees and trembles.

⁵The mountains melt like wax

at the presence of the LORD,

before the Lord of all the earth.

⁶The heavens proclaim His righteousness;

all the peoples see His glory.

⁷All worshipers of images are put to shame—

those who boast in idols.

Worship Him, all you gods!

⁸Zion hears and rejoices,

and the towns of Judah exult

because of Your judgments, O LORD.

⁹For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth;

You are exalted far above all gods.

¹⁰Hate evil, O you who love the LORD!

He preserves the souls of His saints;

He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

¹¹Light shines on the righteous,

gladness on the upright in heart.

¹²Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones,

and praise His holy name.
