Psalms 97:2

¹ The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.

Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.

³ Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.

⁴ His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
