1 The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice;let the many coastlands be glad!
2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire goes before himand burns up his adversaries all around.
4 His lightnings light up the world;the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,and all the peoples see his glory.
7 All worshipers of images are put to shame,who make their boast in worthless idols; worship him, all you gods!
8 Zion hears and is glad,and the daughters of Judah rejoice,because of your judgments, O Lord.
9 For you, O Lord, are most high over all the earth;you are exalted far above all gods.
10 O you who love the Lord, hate evil!He preserves the lives of his saints;he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous,and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,and give thanks to his holy name!
