5As for all the gods of the nations, they are but idols; *
but it is the Lord who made the heavens.

6Oh, the majesty and magnificence of his presence! *
Oh, the power and the splendor of his sanctuary!

7Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples; *
ascribe to the Lord honor and power.

8Ascribe to the Lord the honor due his Name; *
bring offerings and come into his courts.

9Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; *
let the whole earth tremble before him.

10Tell it out among the nations: “The Lord is King! *
he has made the world so firm that it cannot be moved;
he will judge the peoples with equity.”

11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
let the sea thunder and all that is in it; *
let the field be joyful and all that is therein.

12Then shall all the trees of the wood shout for joy
before the Lord when he comes, *
when he comes to judge the earth.

13He will judge the world with righteousness *
and the peoples with his truth.

97Dominus regnavit

1The Lord is King;
let the earth rejoice; *
let the multitude of the isles be glad.

2Clouds and darkness are round about him, *
righteousness and justice are the foundations of his throne.

726Psalm 97
