1 The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice;

Let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

2 Clouds and darkness are round about him:

Righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

3 A fire goeth before him,

And burneth up his enemies round about.

4 His lightnings enlightened the world:

The earth saw, and trembled.

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.
