1. The Lord is King!Tell the earth to celebrateand all islands to shout.
2. Dark clouds surround him,and his throne is supportedby justice and fairness.
3. Fire leaps from his throne,destroying his enemies,
4. and his lightning is so brightthat the earth sees itand trembles.
5. Mountains melt away like waxin the presence of the Lordof all the earth.
6. The heavens announce,“The Lord brings justice!”Everyone sees God's glory.
7. Those who boast aboutthe useless idols they worshipare terribly ashamed,and all the false godsbow down to the Lord.
8. When the people of Zionand of the towns of Judahhear that God brings justice,they will celebrate.
