[1] The LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad! [2] Clouds and darkness are all around Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. [3] A fire goes before Him and burns up His enemies all around. [4] His lightning bolts light up the world; the earth sees and shakes. [5] The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the earth. [6] The heavens declare His righteousness, and all the peoples see His glory. [7] All who serve graven images are ashamed, who 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 above all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods. [10] You who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the lives of His devoted ones; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked. [11] Light goes out for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. [12] Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous, and give thanks at the memory of His holy name.
