Fire Before Him Blues – A Soulful Take on Psalm 97

** Psalm 97 is a powerful declaration of God's reign, written to exalt His majesty, justice, and dominion over all the earth. This psalm was likely composed during Israel’s monarchy or early post-exilic period, calling the people to reject idols and worship the One True God. It paints vivid imagery of fire, storms, and trembling mountains, emphasizing the unstoppable power of Yahweh.

This blues song, "Fire Before Him Blues," brings Psalm 97 into a deep, soulful groove, capturing the raw energy of God’s judgment, righteousness, and ultimate victory. With rich blues undertones and poetic storytelling, this song echoes the stormy grandeur of the Almighty King who reigns forever.

** Psalm 97 (World English Bible - WEB)

1 Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice!
Let the multitude of islands be glad!
2 Clouds and darkness are around him.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 A fire goes before him,
and burns up his adversaries on every side.
4 His lightning lights up the world.
The earth sees, and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh,
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens declare his righteousness.
All the peoples have seen his glory.
7 Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images,
who boast in their idols.
Worship him, all you gods!
8 Zion heard and was glad.
The daughters of Judah rejoiced
because of your judgments, Yahweh.
9 For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth.
You are exalted far above all gods.
10 You who love Yahweh, hate evil!
He preserves the souls of his saints.
He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous,
and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people!
Give thanks to his holy Name.

** Lyrics: Psalm 97 – Fire Before Him Blues

[Verse 1]
Yahweh reigns, let the whole world shake,
Mountains tremble at His mighty voice.
Clouds roll in, darkness wraps around,
But righteousness and justice—yeah, they hold Him down.

[Verse 2]
Fire goes before Him, like a roaring wave,
Burns up the wicked, none left to save.
Lightning strikes, the heavens cry,
The mountains melt where the eagles fly.

[Chorus]
Fire before Him, darkness behind,
Glory like a hammer, shake a sinner’s mind.
The heavens cry out, the earth bows low,
Every false god gonna lose its glow.

[Verse 3]
Them who chase shadows, bow to stone,
Gonna see His power, gonna stand alone.
The idols crumble, the echoes fade,
Ain’t no savior but the One He made.

[Bridge]
Zion hears and starts to shout,
Daughters of Judah dance all about.
The righteous rise, the wicked fall,
Ain’t no king but the Lord of all.

[Chorus]
Fire before Him, darkness behind,
Glory like a hammer, shake a sinner’s mind.
The heavens cry out, the earth bows low,
Every false god gonna lose its glow.

[Verse 4]
You who love Yahweh, hate what’s wrong,
His hand is mighty, His love is strong.
Light is sown for the ones who stand,
Gladness flows from His mighty hand.

[Outro]
Be glad in Yahweh, call His name,
The fire still burns, the power remains.
The storm still rages, but the righteous stand,
Held by the fire in the Father’s hand.
