Java PokerGame cards

I'm working on a program that plays a basic poker game, but that isn't really important. I have an array of 52 cards, containing suits and rank. I'd like to print the values(suit and rank) in 4 rows of 13. This may be a simple question but i've been struggling with it all day. So I would really appreciate the help.

Currently i just have it printing a new line for every card, but like i said this isn't what I want. heres my code for background info? if you need it.

for (int i = 0; i < deckArray.length; i++)
        {
            deckArray[i] = i;
            String suit = suits[deckArray[i] / 13];
            String rank = ranks[deckArray[i] % 13];
            System.out.println(rank + suit);
        }
        System.out.println("\n");

    for (int i = 0; i < 52; i++) {
        String suit = suits[i / 13];
        String rank = ranks[i % 13];
        System.out.print(rank + suit + " ");
        if ((i + 1) % 13 == 0) {
            System.out.println();
        }
    }

Output:

1Spade 2Spade 3Spade 4Spade 5Spade 6Spade 7Spade 8Spade 9Spade 10Spade 11Spade 12Spade 13Spade

    public static void main (String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception
    {
        String[] suits = new String[] {"Spade", "Heart", "Club", "Diamond"};

        String[] ranks = new String[] {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13"};

        for (int i = 0; i < 52; i++)
        {
            String suit = suits[i / 13];
            String rank = ranks[i % 13];
            System.out.println(rank + " " + suit);
        }
        System.out.println("\n");
    }
