1   The Lord is king, let the earth be glad,
  let coasts and islands all rejoice.
   2   Cloud and mist enfold him,
    righteousness and justice
    are the foundation of his throne.
   3   Fire goes before him
  and burns up his enemies ^note all around.
   4   The world is lit up beneath his lightning-flash;
  the earth sees it and writhes in pain.
5   The mountains melt like wax as the Lord approaches,
  the Lord of all the earth.
   6   The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
  and all peoples see his glory.
7   Let all who worship images, who vaunt their idols,
    be put to shame;
  bow down, all gods, ^note before him.

8   Zion heard and rejoiced, the cities of Judah were glad
    at thy judgements, O Lord.
9   For thou, Lord, art most high over all the earth,
  far exalted above all gods.

10   The Lord loves ^note those who hate evil;
    he keeps his loyal servants safe
    and rescues them from the wicked.
   11   A harvest of light is sown for the righteous,

-- --

Book 4
    and joy for all good men.
   12   You that are righteous, rejoice in the Lord
    and praise his holy name.
