¹ The Lord is king!
    Let the earth rejoice!
    Let the farthest coastlands be glad.
² Dark clouds surround him.
    Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
³ Fire spreads ahead of him
    and burns up all his foes.
⁴ His lightning flashes out across 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;
    every nation sees his glory.
⁷ Those who worship idols are disgraced—
    all who brag about their worthless gods—
    for every god must bow to him.
⁸ Jerusalem^[a] has heard and rejoiced,
    and all the towns of Judah are glad
    because of your justice, O Lord!
⁹ For you, O Lord, are supreme over all the earth;
    you are exalted far above all gods.

¹⁰ You who love the Lord, hate evil!
    He protects the lives of his godly people
    and rescues them from the power of the wicked.
¹¹ Light shines on the godly,
    and joy on those whose hearts are right.
¹² May all who are godly rejoice in the Lord
    and praise his holy name!
