1 The LORD reigns!

2 Clouds and darkness are around him.

3 A fire goes before him,

4 His lightning lights up the world.

5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD,

6 The heavens declare his righteousness.

7 Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images,

8 Zion heard and was glad.

9 For you, LORD, are most high above all the earth.

10 You who love the LORD, hate evil!

11 Light is sown for the righteous,

12 Be glad in the LORD, you righteous people!
