¹ The Lord is king! Let the earth rejoice;
    let the many coastlands be glad!^(A)
2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around him;
    righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.^(B)
3 Fire goes before him
    and consumes his adversaries on every side.^(C)
4 His lightnings light up the world;
    the earth sees and trembles.
⁵ The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
    before the Lord of all the earth.^(D)
