Rejoice In The Lord

The Lord reigns, let the earth be
glad;
let the distant shores rejoice.
Clouds and thick darkness
surround him;
righteousness and justice are the
foundations of his throne.
Fire goes before him
and consumes his foes on every
side.
His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
The mountains melt like wax
before the Lord,
before the Lord of all the earth.
The heavens proclaim his
righteousness,
and all the peoples see his glory.
all who worship images are put to
shame,
those who boast in idols-
worship him, all you gods!
Zion hears and rejoices
and the villages of Judah are glad
because of your judgments,
O Lord.
For you, O Lord, are the Most High
over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all
gods.
Let those who love the Lord hate
evil,
for he guards the lives of his
faithful ones
and delivers them from the hand
of the wicked.
Light is shed upon the righteous
and joy on the upright in heart.
Rejoice in the Lord, you who are
righteous,
and praise his holy name.
