International Standard VersionNew Living Translation
1The LORD reigns! Let the earth rejoice! May many islands be glad!1The LORD is king! Let the earth rejoice! Let the farthest coastlands be glad.
2Thick clouds are all around him; righteousness and justice are his throne's foundation.2Dark clouds surround him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3Fire goes out from his presence to consume his enemies on every side.3Fire spreads ahead of him and burns up all his foes.
4His lightning bolts light the world; the earth sees and shakes.4His lightning flashes out across the world. The earth sees and trembles.
5Mountains melt like wax in the LORD's presence— In the presence of the LORD of all the earth.5The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
6The heavens declare his righteousness so that all the nations see his glory.6The heavens proclaim his righteousness; every nation sees his glory.
7All who serve carved images— and those who praise idols—will be humiliated. Worship him, all you "gods"!7Those who worship idols are disgraced— all who brag about their worthless gods— for every god must bow to him.
8Zion hears and rejoices; the towns of Judah rejoice on account of your justice, LORD.8Jerusalem has heard and rejoiced, and all the towns of Judah are glad because of your justice, O LORD!
9For you, LORD, are the Most High above all the earth; you are exalted high above all divine beings. 9For you, O LORD, are supreme over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods.
10Hate evil, you who love the LORD! He guards the lives of those who love him, delivering them from domination by the wicked.10You who love the LORD, hate evil! He protects the lives of his godly people and rescues them from the power of the wicked.
11Light shines on the righteous; gladness on the morally upright. 11Light shines on the godly, and joy on those whose hearts are right.
12Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones! Give thanks at the mention of his holiness!12May all who are godly rejoice in the LORD and praise his holy name!
