Context of Psalms 97:6
4His lightning lights up the world— the earth sees and trembles. 5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Adonai, at the presence of the Lord of all earth. The heavens declare His righteousness, and all the peoples have seen His glory. 7Let all who serve graven images be ashamed—who boast in idols. Bow down before Him, all you gods! 8Zion hears and is glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of Your judgments, Adonai.
