1  The Lord ^ureigns, ^vlet the earth rejoice;

let the many coastlands be glad!

2  ^wClouds and thick darkness are all around him;

^xrighteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

3  ^yFire goes before him

and burns up his adversaries all around.

4  His ^zlightnings light up the world;

the earth sees and trembles.

5  The ^amountains melt like wax before the Lord,

before the ^bLord of all the earth.

6  The ^cheavens proclaim his righteousness,

and ^dall the peoples see his glory.

7  All worshipers of images are ^eput to shame,

who make their boast in worthless idols;

^fworship him, all you gods!

8  Zion hears and is ^gglad,

and the daughters of Judah rejoice,

because of your judgments, O Lord.

9  For you, O Lord, are ^hmost high over all the earth;

you are exalted far ⁱabove all gods.

10  O you who love the Lord, ^jhate evil!

He ^kpreserves the lives of his saints;

he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11  Light is sown¹ for the righteous,

and joy for the upright in heart.

12  Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,

and ^lgive thanks to his holy name!
