1: GOD rules: there's something to shout over! On the double, mainlands and islands--celebrate!
2: Bright clouds and storm clouds circle 'round him; Right and justice anchor his rule.
3: Fire blazes out before him, Flaming high up the craggy mountains.
4: His lightnings light up the world; Earth, wide-eyed, trembles in fear.
5: The mountains take one look at GOD And melt, melt like wax before earth's Lord.
6: The heavens announce that he'll set everything right, And everyone will see it happen--glorious!
7: All who serve handcrafted gods will be sorry--And they were so proud of their ragamuffin gods! On your knees, all you gods--worship him!
8: And Zion, you listen and take heart! Daughters of Zion, sing your hearts out: GOD has done it all, has set everything right.
9: You, GOD, are High God of the cosmos, Far, far higher than any of the gods.
10: GOD loves all who hate evil, And those who love him he keeps safe, Snatches them from the grip of the wicked.
11: Light-seeds are planted in the souls of God's people, Joy-seeds are planted in good heart-soil.
12: So, God's people, shout praise to GOD, Give thanks to our Holy God!
