1 Die HERE is Koning; laat die aarde juig; laat baie eilande bly wees!
2 Wolke en donkerheid is rondom Hom; geregtigheid en reg is die grondslag van sy troon.
3 'n Vuur gaan voor sy aangesig uit en steek sy teëstanders rondom aan die brand.
4 Sy bliksems verlig die wêreld; die aarde sien dit en bewe.
5 Berge smelt weg soos was voor die aangesig van die HERE, voor die aangesig van die HERE van die hele aarde.
6 Die hemele verkondig sy geregtigheid, en al die volke sien sy heerlikheid.
7 Beskaamd staan almal wat die beelde dien, wat hulle op afgode beroem; al die gode buig hulle voor Hom neer.
8 Sion hoor dit en is bly, en die dogters van Juda juig oor u oordele, o HERE!
9 Want U, HERE, is die Allerhoogste oor die hele aarde; U is hoog verhewe bo al die gode.
10 o Liefhebbers van die HERE, haat die kwaad! Hy bewaar die siele van sy gunsgenote, Hy red hulle uit die hand van die goddelose.
11 Die lig is vir die regverdige gesaai en vrolikheid vir die opregtes van hart.
12 o Regverdiges, wees bly in die HERE, en loof sy heilige gedenknaam!
1 Jehovah reigneth; let the earth rejoice;
Let the multitude of isles be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness are round about him:
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 A fire goeth before him,
And burneth up his adversaries round about.
4 His lightnings lightened the world:
The earth saw, and trembled.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah,
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 them be put to shame that serve graven images,
That boast themselves of idols:
Worship him, all ye gods.
8 Zion heard and was glad,
And the daughters of Judah rejoiced,
Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.
9 For thou, Jehovah, art most high above all the earth:
Thou art exalted far above all gods.
10 O ye that love Jehovah, hate evil:
He preserveth the souls of his saints;
He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous,
And gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous;
And give thanks to his holy memorial name.
