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 him
   and 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!
