Psalms 97:1-5 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. The Lord is king; let the earth rejoice;let the many islands be glad.

2. Cloud and darkness surround him;justice and right are the foundation of his throne.

3. Fire goes before him,consuming his foes on every side.

4. His lightening illumines the world;the earth sees and trembles.

5. The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,before the Lord of all the earth.
