¹   The LORD is king! 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 him, 
          and consumes his adversaries on every side. 
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 behold his glory. 
⁷   All worshipers of images are put to shame, 
          those who make their boast in worthless idols; 
          all gods bow down before him. 
⁸   Zion hears and is glad, 
          and the towns of Judah rejoice, 
          because of your judgments, O God. 
⁹   For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth; 
          you are exalted far above all gods.

¹⁰ The LORD loves those who hate evil;
he guards the lives of his faithful;
he rescues them from the hand of the wicked.
¹¹ Light dawns 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!
