1 The Lord is king, let the earth rejoice: let her many isles be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness are round about him, justice and right are the base of his throne.
3 Fire goes before him, and blazes around his steps,
4 his lightnings illumine the world: the earth quakes at the sight.
5 Mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim his justice, all nations behold his glory.
7 Shamed are all image-worshippers, who make a boast of their idols. All the gods bow before him.
8 Zion is glad at the tidings, the towns of Judah rejoice because of your judgments, Lord.
9 For you are most high over all the earth, greatly exalted above all gods.
10 The Lord loves those who hate evil, he guards the lives of the faithful: from the hand of the wicked he saves them.
11 Light arises for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous: give thanks to his holy name.
