The LORD is King over all

¹The LORD is King! Let the earth be glad, \q and the many far-off coastlands celebrate. ²Clouds and deep darkness surround him; \q his throne is built on what is right and just. ³Fire marches ahead of him \q and burns up his enemies on every side. ⁴The world is lit by the flash of his lightning; \q the earth sees it and quakes. ⁵In the presence of the LORD the mountains soften like wax, \q in the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. ⁶The skies announce that he is righteous, \q and every people sees his glory. ⁷Let everyone who serves carved idols be disgraced, \q all who brag about worthless gods; \q bow down before him, all you gods! ⁸Zion hears of it and is filled with joy; \q the towns of Judah celebrate \q your acts of justice, LORD. ⁹For it is you, LORD, who are Most High over the whole earth; \q you are lifted far above every god. ¹⁰All who love the LORD, hate what is evil! \q He watches over the lives of his faithful people \q and rescues them from the power of the wicked. ¹¹Light is scattered like seed for the righteous, \q and joy for those whose hearts are true.^{a 12}Be glad in the LORD, you righteous people, \q and thank him, calling his holy name to mind.
