The gods of all other nations are only idols,

Say to all the nations, “The Lord is king!
  The earth is set firmly in place and cannot be moved;
  he will judge the peoples with justice.”

Be glad, earth and sky!
  Roar, sea, and every creature in you;

12   
  be glad, fields, and everything in you!
The trees in the woods will shout for joy

13   
  when the Lord comes to rule the earth.
He will rule the peoples of the world
  with justice and fairness.
