Cloud and gloom are around him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
Fire goes before him and will blaze around his enemies.
His lightnings appeared to the inhabited world; the earth saw and was shaken.
The mountains melted like wax from before the Lord, from before the Lord of all the earth
The heavens proclaimed his righteousness, and all the peoples saw his glory.
πάντες οἱ προσκυνοῦντες τοῖς γλυπτοῖς οἱ ἐγκαυχώμενοι ἐν τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν προσκυνήσατε αὐτῷ πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοι αὐτοῦ
Let all who worship carved images be put to shame, those who boast in their idols; worship him, all his angels.
Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judea rejoiced because of your judgments, O Lord
For you are Lord, the Most High over all the earth; you have been greatly exalted above all gods.
ἀγαπῶντες τὸν κύριον μισεῖτε πονηρόν φυλάσσει κύριος τὰς ψυχὰς τῶν ὁσίων αὐτοῦ ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλῶν ῥύσεται αὐτούς
You who love the Lord, hate evil. The Lord guards the souls of his holy ones; from the hand of sinners he will deliver them.
Light has risen for the righteous, and for the upright in heart gladness.
Rejoice, righteous ones, in the Lord, and give thanks to the remembrance of his holiness.
