Melt like Wax …

_MG_5063 border 2 

The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice;
let the many islands be glad.

Clouds and thick darkness surround him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

Fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side.

His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.

The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD,
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples see His glory.

All who worship images are put to shame, those who boast in idols—
worship him, all you gods!

Zion hears and rejoices and the villages of Judah are glad
because of your judgments, O LORD.

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

Let those who love the LORD hate evil,
for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

Light is sown like seed for the righteous. 
And gladness for the upright in heart.

Rejoice in the LORD, you who are righteous, and give thanks to His holy name.
Psalm 97

Rahab's testimony:

"For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon, and Og, whom you utterly destroyed. 

And when we heard it, our hearts melted and no courage remained in any man any longer because of you; for the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath."
Joshua 2:10-11
