1. The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice;let the many coastlands be glad!
2. Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3. Fire goes before himand burns up his adversaries all around.
4. His lightnings light up 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 see his glory.
7. All worshipers of images are put to shame,who make their boast in worthless idols; worship him, all you gods!
