Psalms 97: The King Whose Throne Is Justice

The LORD's reign is pictured in cloud, fire, lightning, and melting mountains, with righteousness and justice as the base of His throne. Idol worshipers are shamed while Zion rejoices at His judgments, and those who love Him are called to hate evil, trusting His protection, light, and joy.
