Context of Psalms 97:6
4His lightning lights up the whole world. The earth sees it and it shakes with fear. 5The mountains melt like butter in front of the Lord, when they see the Lord of the whole earth. The sky itself tells us that he is righteous People from every nation see his glory. 7Everyone who worships idols should be ashamed. They should not boast about useless idols! All gods like that will fall down in front of the Lord. 8When Zion's people hear about it, they will be happy. Yes, the people of Judah will be very happy! They will be happy, Lord, because you bring justice.
