1 The Lord reigns! Let the earth rejoice;let the many coasts and islands be glad.
2 Clouds and thick darkness surround Him;righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
3 Fire goes before Himand burns up His foes on every side.
4 His lightning lights up the world;the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like waxat the presence of the Lord —at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.
