The Eternal reigns powerful over all; let the earth sing with joy; let the distant islands celebrate.2 Clouds and deep darkness encircle Him; righteousness and justice are the bedrock of His rule.3 Fire precedes Him; it burns away His opponents on all sides.4 With His lightning flashing about, He illuminates the world; the earth watches and trembles.5 Like wax before the flame, mountains melt when the Eternal appears, the Master of the whole earth. 6 The heavens display His order and perfect justice;
all peoples witness His magnificence.
7 Those who worship idols,
who boast in the impotent creations of human hands, will be shamed.
Worship Him, all you gods.
8 Zion heard and was glad,
and the daughters of Judah celebrated
because they saw Your justice, O Eternal One.
9 For You are the Eternal, the Most High, over the entire world;
You far exceed all gods. 10 Hate evil, you lovers of the Eternal.
He protects the souls of those who follow Him;
He rescues them from the devices of the wicked.
11 Light is sown in the just;
as it grows, it brings joy to the pure of heart.
12 Celebrate the Eternal God, all you who are faithful;
offer thanks to His holy name. |
