1. The Lord is king; let the earth rejoice;let the many islands be glad.
2. Cloud and darkness surround him;justice and right are the foundation of his throne.
3. Fire goes before him,consuming his foes on every side.
4. His lightening illumines 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 justice;all peoples see his glory.
7. All who serve idols are put to shame,who glory in worthless things;all gods bow down before him.
