2Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.2Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.3Fire goes before him and burns up his adversaries all around.
4His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.4His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles.
5The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.5The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
6The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.6The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.
7Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.7All worshipers of images are put to shame, who make their boast in worthless idols; worship him, all you gods!
8Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.8Zion hears and is glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of your judgments, O LORD.
9For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.9For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods.
10Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.10O you who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

12Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.12Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!
