4 - His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.

5 - The mountains became like wax at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the Lord of all the earth.

7 - Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.

8 - Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.

9 - For you, Lord, are most high over the earth; you are lifted up over all other gods.

10 - You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.

11 - Light is shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.

12 - Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.
