¹The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice;

let the many coastlands be glad!

²Clouds and thick darkness are all round him;

righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

³Fire goes before him

and burns up his adversaries all round.

⁴His lightnings light up the world;

the earth sees and trembles.

⁵The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,

before the Lord of all the earth.

⁶The heavens proclaim his righteousness,

and all the peoples see his glory.

⁷All worshippers of images are put to shame,

who make their boast in worthless idols;

worship him, all you gods!

⁸Zion hears and is glad,

and the daughters of Judah rejoice,

because of your judgements, O LORD.

⁹For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth;

you are exalted far above all gods.

¹⁰O you who love the LORD, hate evil!

He preserves the lives of his saints;

he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

¹¹Light is sown for the righteous,

and joy for the upright in heart.

¹²Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous,

and give thanks to his holy name!
