[1] The Lord reigns; Let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad!
[2] Clouds and darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
[3] A fire goes before Him, And burns up His enemies round about.
[4] His lightnings light the world; The earth sees and trembles.
[5] The mountains melt 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 see His glory.
[7] Let all be put to shame who serve carved images, Who boast of idols. Worship Him, all you gods.
[8] Zion hears and is glad, And the daughters of Judah rejoice Because of Your judgments, O Lord.
[9] For You, Lord, are most high above all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.
[10] You who love the Lord, hate evil! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
[11] Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.
[12] Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.
