97:4  and his lightning is so bright that the earth sees it and trembles.
97:5  Mountains melt away like wax in the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
97:6  The heavens announce, “The Lord brings justice!” Everyone sees God's glory.

97:9  The Lord rules the whole earth, and he is more glorious than all the false gods.

97:11  If you obey and do right, a light will show you the way and fill you with happiness.
