Psalms 97:9
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.
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.
11 Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.
