1 耶和华作王，愿地快乐，

愿众海岛都欢喜。

2 密云和幽暗在他的四围，

公义和公正是他宝座的根基。

3 有火走在他的前面，

烧尽他四围的敌人。

4 他的闪电照亮世界，

大地看见了就战栗。

5 在耶和华面前，就是在全地的主面前，

群山都像蜡一般融化。

6 诸天传扬他的公义，

万民得见他的荣耀。

7 愿所有事奉雕刻的偶像的，

以虚无的偶像为夸口的，都蒙羞；

众神哪！你们都要拜他。

8 耶和华啊！锡安听见你的判断就欢喜，

犹大的各城*"各城"原文作"女子"也都快乐。

9 耶和华啊！因为你是全地的至高者；

你被尊崇，远超过众神之上。

10 你们爱耶和华的，都要恨恶罪恶；

耶和华保护圣民的性命，

救他们脱离恶人的手。

11 有亮光照耀*"照耀"有古抄本作"散播"义人，

心里正直的人得享喜乐。

12 义人哪！你们要靠耶和华欢喜，

要称赞他的圣名。

5 The hills 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 people see his glory.

7 Confounded be all they 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 LORD.

9 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.

10 Ye that love the LORD, 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 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.*97.12 at…: or, to the memorial
