Psalms 97:8

6 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!

Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.

9 For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

10 Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

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