PSALM 97

LET THE EARTH REJOICE 

This psalm rejoices in God’s ultimate authority and His endless reign. Because God’s throne is made of justice and righteousness, we can rejoice in His kingship! This psalm warns of the consequences of idol worship and says that all worshippers of worthless idols or images are put to shame. The author of this psalm calls the people who love God to also hate evil. 

Psalm 97:2 - Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
