[1] The LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be
glad! [2] Clouds and thick darkness are round about him; righteousness and
justice are the foundation of his throne. [3] Fire goes before him, and
burns up his adversaries round about. [4] His lightnings lighten 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; and all the peoples behold his glory. [7] All worshipers of
images are put to shame, who make their boast in worthless idols; all gods
bow down before him. [8] Zion hears and is glad, and the daughters of Judah
rejoice, because of thy judgments, O God. [9] For thou, O LORD, art most
high over all the earth; thou art exalted far above all gods. [10] The LORD
loves those who hate evil; he preserves the lives of his saints; he
delivers them from the hand of the wicked. [11] Light dawns for the
righteous, and joy for the upright in heart. [12] Rejoice in the LORD, O
you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!
