Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne

Psalm 97:1-12
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
Fire goes before him and consume his foes on every side.
His lighting lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.
The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.
Zion hears and rejoices and the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgement. For you, O Lord, are the Most High over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods.
Light is shed upon the righteous and joy on the uptight in heart.
Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous, and praise his holy name.
Why?
The images are of awesome power and shining searching light. The spirit sings with gladness for all that God has done - for God. Supreme,triumphant; the Savior and delight of all who hate evil.
Who can stand against our God?
God is the light, He lighting lights up the world, all of us sees, hear his voice with trembles and rejoice if we hate the evil. Rejoice in the Lord.
God is the fire also, consume his foes on every side. How great and powerful our God. His fire and light with power and let us follow Him. Do not pretend not see it.
How?
Hate evil and be righteous, joy and praise his holy name. When I am doing the right thing what I fear, the Lord is my shelter.
