1 Yahweh reigns!

Let the earth rejoice!

Let the multitude of islands be glad!

2 Clouds and darkness are around him.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

3 A fire goes before him,

and burns up his adversaries on every side.

4 His lightning lights up the world.

The earth sees, and trembles.

5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh,

at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 The heavens declare his righteousness.

All the peoples have seen his glory.

7 Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images,

who boast in their idols.

Worship him, all you gods!

8 Zion heard and was glad.

The daughters of Judah rejoiced

because of your judgments, Yahweh.

9 For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth.

You are exalted far above all gods.

10 You who love Yahweh, 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 Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people!

Give thanks to his holy Name.

1 Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.

2 Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

3 Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.

4 Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.

5 Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.

6 The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.

7 Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

8 Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.

9 For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.

10 Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.

11 Light [is] sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart -- joy.

12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
