2Dark clouds surround him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.2Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3Fire spreads ahead of him and burns up all his foes.3Fire goes before him and burns up his adversaries all around.
4His lightning flashes out across the world. The earth sees and trembles.4His lightnings light up 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 before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
6The heavens proclaim his righteousness; every nation sees his glory.6The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and 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, who make their boast in worthless 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 is glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoice, 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.10O you who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

12May all who are godly rejoice in the LORD and praise his holy name!12Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!
