Chapter summary

The Lord reigns, causing the earth and distant shores to rejoice while clouds, darkness, righteousness, and justice form His throne. Fire and lightning precede Him, consuming His foes, illuminating the world, and causing the earth to tremble and mountains to melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness, and all peoples witness His glory, which puts image-worshipers and boasters in idols to shame while divine beings are called to worship Him. Zion and the towns of Judah hear these things and rejoice because of the Lord's judgments, recognizing Him as Most High over all the earth and exalted far above all gods. Finally, the text notes that the Lord preserves the souls of His saints, delivers them from the wicked, shines light on the righteous, and brings gladness to the upright in heart.
