1. The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad;let the distant shores rejoice.
2. Clouds and thick darkness surround him;righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3. Fire goes before himand consumes his foes on every side.
4. His lightning lights up the world;the earth sees and trembles.
5. The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,before the Lord of all the earth.
