⁴ But the one who rules in heaven laughs.
    The Lord scoffs at them.

¹³ But the Lord just laughs,
    for he sees their day of judgment coming.

⁸ But Lord, you laugh at them.
    You scoff at all the hostile nations.

²² God sits above the circle of the earth.
    The people below seem like grasshoppers to him!
He spreads out the heavens like a curtain
    and makes his tent from them.

²⁶ So I will laugh when you are in trouble!
    I will mock you when disaster overtakes you—

⁴ But the Lord is in his holy Temple;
    the Lord still rules from heaven.
He watches everyone closely,
    examining every person on earth.

⁵ Terror will grip them,
    terror like they have never known before.
God will scatter the bones of your enemies.
    You will put them to shame, for God has rejected them.

³³ Sing to the one who rides across the ancient heavens,
    his mighty voice thundering from the sky.
