NET BibleNew International Version
1The LORD reigns! Let the earth be happy! Let the many coastlands rejoice! 1The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice.
2Dark clouds surround him; equity and justice are the foundation of his throne. 2Clouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3Fire goes before him; on every side it burns up his enemies. 3Fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side.
4His lightning bolts light up the world; the earth sees and trembles. 4His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.
5The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of the whole earth. 5The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
6The sky declares his justice, and all the nations see his splendor. 6The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all peoples see his glory.
7All who worship idols are ashamed, those who boast about worthless idols. All the gods bow down before him. 7All who worship images are put to shame, those who boast in idols-- worship him, all you gods!
8Zion hears and rejoices, the towns of Judah are happy, because of your judgments, O LORD. 8Zion hears and rejoices and the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments, LORD.
9For you, O LORD, are the sovereign king over the whole earth; you are elevated high above all gods. 9For you, LORD, are the Most High over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods.
10You who love the LORD, hate evil! He protects the lives of his faithful followers; he delivers them from the power of the wicked. 10Let those who love the LORD hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11The godly bask in the light; the morally upright experience joy. 11Light shines on the righteous and joy on the upright in heart.
12You godly ones, rejoice in the LORD! Give thanks to his holy name. 12Rejoice in the LORD, you who are righteous, and praise his holy name.
