Two women dance with raised tambourines on a city wall while a lightning storm and glowing hills lie beyond the city.

Prompt

Psalm 97: Clouds and darkness are round about him... His lightnings enlightened the world... The hills melted like wax... Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced. On the walls of Jerusalem two daughters of Judah dance large and central with timbrels raised, faces bright with joy, while far beyond the city a majestic storm of towering clouds, fire and lightning sweeps over the distant hills, which glow as if melting in the light. Brilliant sunlight bursts through the storm onto the young women and the golden city stones. Awe and rejoicing. The men wear wrapped turbans or head-cloths over their hair. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
