¹ The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.

² Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.

³ Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.

⁴ His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.

⁵ The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

⁶ The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.

⁷ All worshipers of images are put to shame—those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!

⁸ Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult 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 Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

¹¹ Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.

¹² Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.
