Common English Bible

¹⁰Tell the nations, “The Lord rules!
    Yes, he set the world firmly in place;^[a]
    it won’t be shaken.
    He will judge all people fairly.”
¹¹Let heaven celebrate! Let the earth rejoice!
    Let the sea and everything in it roar!
¹²    Let the countryside and everything in it celebrate!
    Then all the trees of the forest too
        will shout out joyfully
¹³        before the Lord because he is coming!
He is coming to establish justice on the earth!
    He will establish justice in the world rightly.
    He will establish justice among all people fairly.
