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.
