God the Supreme Ruler
1 TheLordis king! Earth, be glad!
Rejoice, you islands of the seas!
2 Clouds and darkness surround him;
he rules with righteousness and justice.
3 Fire goes in front of him
and burns up his enemies around him.
4 His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees it and trembles.
5 The hills melt like wax before theLord,
before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
and all the nations see his glory.
7 Everyone who worships idols is put to shame;
all the gods bow downbefore theLord.
8 The people of Zion are glad,
and the cities of Judah rejoice
because of your judgments, OLord.
9 LordAlmighty, you are ruler of all the earth;
you are much greater than all the gods.
10 TheLordloves those who hate evil;
he protects the lives of his people;
he rescues them from the power of the wicked.
11 Light shines on the righteous,
and gladness on the good.
12 All you that are righteous be glad
because of what theLordhas done!
Remember what the holy God has done,
and give thanks to him.
