“Author of these two chapters is Anonymous”
1 The Lord is king!
Let the earth rejoice!
Let the farthest coastlands be glad.
2 Dark clouds surround Him.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
3 Fire spreads ahead of Him
and burns up all His foes.
4 His lightning flashes out across the world.
The earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim His righteousness;
every nation sees His glory.
7 Those who worship idols are disgraced—
all who brag about their worthless gods—
for every god must bow to Him.
8 Jerusalem has heard and rejoiced,
and all the towns of Judah are glad
because of Your justice, O Lord!
9 For You, O Lord, are supreme over all the earth;
You are exalted far above all gods.
10 You who love the Lord, hate evil!
He protects the lives of His godly people
and rescues them from the power of the wicked.
11 Light shines on the godly,
and joy on those whose hearts are right.
12 May all who are godly rejoice in the Lord
and praise His Holy Name!
1 Sing a new song to the Lord,
for He has done wonderful deeds.
His right hand has won a mighty victory;
His holy arm has shown His saving power!
2 The Lord has announced His victory
and has revealed His righteousness to every nation!
3 He has remembered His promise to love and be faithful to Israel.
The ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.
4 Shout to the Lord, all the earth;
break out in praise and sing for joy!
5 Sing your praise to the Lord with the harp,
with the harp and melodious song,
6 with trumpets and the sound of the ram’s horn.
Make a joyful symphony before the Lord, the King!
7 Let the sea and everything in it shout His praise!
Let the earth and all living things join in.
8 Let the rivers clap their hands in glee!
Let the hills sing out their songs of joy
9 before the Lord,
for He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with justice,
and the nations with fairness.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, my awesome Lord and Savior, You are worthy of my praise. The earth knows who You are and trembles in Your presence. Every living thing shouts Your praise! Help me Lord to be sensitive to how the earth honors Your Name. It can be heard in the wind, in the sound of the bird’s song. Rivers and oceans proclaim Your glory with each rushing waterfall and the crash of its roaring waves. If all creation can proclaim Your majesty; then so will I! Thank You and Praise You JESUS! Amen.
