1 The LORD is king, let the earth rejoice: 2Clouds and darkness are round about him, 3Fire goes before him, 4his lightnings illumine the world: 5Mountains melt like wax 6The heavens proclaim his justice, 7Shamed are all image-worshippers, 8Zion is glad at the tidings, 9For you are most high over all the earth, 10The LORD loves those who hate evil, 11Light arises for the righteous, 12Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous:
