Psalms 97:6
4 His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.
7 All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!
8 Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
