Verbatim text from Ps 97:1-2,6-7ac,9+12

The Lord is king, the most high over all the earth.

The Lord is king! Let the earth rejoice;
let the many coastlands be glad!
Clouds and thick darkness are all around him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

The heavens proclaim his righteousness;
and all the peoples behold his glory.
All worshippers of images are put to shame;
all gods bow down before him.

For you, O Lord, are most high over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.
Light dawns for the righteous,
and joy for the upright in heart.
