Psalm 97:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,[a]
and all the nations behold his glory.
7 All who worship images are put to shame,
those who boast of their worthless idols;
bow down before him, all you gods.[b]
8 Zion hears and rejoices,
and the cities[c] of Judah exult
because of your judgments, O Lord.
