1The LORD is king! Let the earth rejoice! Let the farthest coastlands be glad.1The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.
2Dark clouds surround him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.2Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.
3Fire spreads ahead of him and burns up all his foes.3Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.
4His lightning flashes out across the world. The earth sees and trembles.4His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.
5The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
6The heavens proclaim his righteousness; every nation sees his glory.6The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.
7Those who worship idols are disgraced— all who brag about their worthless gods— for every god must bow to him.7All worshipers of images are put to shame—those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!
8Jerusalem has heard and rejoiced, and all the towns of Judah are glad because of your justice, O LORD!8Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.
9For you, O LORD, are supreme over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods.9For You, O LORD, are 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 godly people and rescues them from the power of the wicked.10Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11Light shines on the godly, and joy on those whose hearts are right.11Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.
12May all who are godly rejoice in the LORD and praise his holy name!12Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.
