Context of Psalms 97:6
4His lightnings lit up the world; The earth saw and trembled. 5The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory. 7Let all those be ashamed who serve graven images, Who boast themselves of idols; Worship Him, all you gods. 8Zion heard this and was glad, And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced Because of Your judgments, O Lord.
