Godreignsoverthe nations,Godsitson His holythrone.
Let the heavensbe glad,and let the earthrejoice;And let them sayamong the nations,"The LORDreigns."
ThenI heard[something] likethe voiceof a greatmultitudeand likethe soundof manywatersand likethe soundof mightypeals of thunder,saying,"Hallelujah!For the Lordour God,the Almighty,reigns.
Thereforelet us draw nearwith confidenceto the throneof grace,sothat we may receivemercyand findgraceto helpin time of need.
The LORDreigns,He is clothedwith majesty;The LORDhas clothedand girdedHimself with strength;Indeed,the worldis firmlyestablished,it will not be moved.
Righteousnessand justiceare the foundationof Your throne;Lovingkindnessand truthgobeforeYou.
For You have maintainedmy justcause;You have saton the thronejudgingrighteously.
ThenI sawa greatwhitethroneand Him who satupon it, from whosepresenceearthand heavenfled away,and noplacewas foundfor them.
He will judgeamong the nations,He will fill[them] with corpses,He will shatterthe chiefmenovera broadcountry.
The LORDreigns,let the peoplestremble;He is enthroned[above] the cherubim,let the earthshake!
The LORDreigns,let the earthrejoice;Let the manyislandsbe glad.
Sayamong the nations,"The LORDreigns;Indeed,the worldis firmlyestablished,it will not be moved;He will judgethe peopleswith equity."
Can a throneof destructionbe alliedwith You, One which devisesmischiefby decree?
Greatis the LORD,and greatlyto be praised,In the cityof our God,His holymountain.
The LORDis greatin Zion,And He is exaltedaboveallthe peoples.
And the LORDwill be kingoverallthe earth;in that daythe LORDwill be [the only] one,and His name[the only] one.
"But cursedbe the swindlerwho hasa malein his flockand vowsit, but sacrificesa blemishedanimalto the Lord,for I am a greatKing,"saysthe LORDof hosts,"and My nameis fearedamong the nations."
