[1] The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; Let the many islands be glad.
[2] Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
[3] Fire goes before Him And burns up His adversaries round about.
[4] His lightnings lit up the world; The earth saw and trembled.
[5] The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
[6] The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.
[7] Let all those be ashamed who serve graven images, Who boast themselves of idols; Worship Him, all you gods.
[8] Zion heard this and was glad, And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced Because of Your judgments, O LORD.
[9] For You are the LORD Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.
[10] Hate evil, you who love the LORD, Who preserves the souls of His godly ones; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
[11] Light is sown like seed for the righteous And gladness for the upright in heart.
[12] Be glad in the LORD, you righteous ones, And give thanks to His holy name.
