Psalms 97:8-12

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.

9You, Lord, are the Most High God who rules over all the earth. You are much greater than any other god!

10If you love the Lord, then hate anything that is evil. The Lord protects the lives of those who serve him. He keeps them safe from the power of wicked people.

11God's light shines on righteous people. Good, honest people will be very happy.

12All you righteous people, be happy because of what the Lord has done. Thank him because he is holy.
