The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

The heavens declare his righteousness, And all nations behold his glory.

Light is sown for the righteous, And joy for the upright in heart.

Rejoice, O ye righteous, in the LORD, And praise his holy name!
