Let the earth rejoice
1
Yahweh is the king! I want everyone on the earth to be glad and the people who live on the islands in the oceans to also rejoice about that!
2
There are very dark clouds around him; he rules completely, justly, and fairly.
3
He sends fire in front of him, and he completely burns all his enemies in that fire.
4
All around the world he sends lightning to flash; people on the earth see it, and it causes them to be afraid and to tremble.
5
The mountains melt like wax in front of Yahweh, in front of the one who is the Lord, who rules over all the earth.
6
The angels in heaven proclaim that he acts righteously, and all the people groups see his glory.
7
Everyone who worships idols should be ashamed; all those who are proud of their false gods should realize that their gods are useless. All those gods will bow down to worship Yahweh.
8
The people of Jerusalem heard that God is just, and they rejoiced; people in the other cities in Judah also rejoiced because Yahweh judges and punishes wicked people.
9
Yahweh is the supreme King over all the earth; he has very great power, and none of the other gods has any power.
10
Yahweh loves those who hate what people do that is evil; he protects the lives of his people, and he rescues them when the wicked people try to harm them.
11
He makes the righteous people truly live; he causes those who are righteous in their inner beings to rejoice.
12
You righteous people, rejoice about what Yahweh has done, and thank him, our holy God!
