2Dark clouds surround him; equity and justice are the foundation of his throne. 2Dark clouds surround him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3Fire goes before him; on every side it burns up his enemies. 3Fire spreads ahead of him and burns up all his foes.
4His lightning bolts light up the world; the earth sees and trembles. 4His lightning flashes out across the world. The earth sees and trembles.
5The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of the whole earth. 5The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
6The sky declares his justice, and all the nations see his splendor. 6The heavens proclaim his righteousness; every nation sees his glory.
7All who worship idols are ashamed, those who boast about worthless idols. All the gods bow down before him. 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 are happy, because of your judgments, O LORD. 8Jerusalem has heard and rejoiced, and all the towns of Judah are glad because of your justice, O LORD!
9For you, O LORD, are the sovereign king over the whole earth; you are elevated high above all gods. 9For you, O LORD, are supreme over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods.
10You who love the LORD, hate evil! He protects the lives of his faithful followers; he delivers them from the power of 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.
11The godly bask in the light; the morally upright experience joy. 11Light shines on the godly, and joy on those whose hearts are right.
12You godly ones, rejoice in the LORD! Give thanks to his holy name. 12May all who are godly rejoice in the LORD and praise his holy name!
