1Jehovah reigns! Let the earth rejoice. Let the multitude of isles be glad.
2Clouds and darkness are round about him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries round about.
4His lightnings lightened the world. The earth saw, and trembled.
5The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples have seen his glory.
7Let all those be put to shame who serve graven images, who boast themselves of idols. Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.
8Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.
9For thou, Jehovah, are most high above all the earth. Thou are exalted far above all gods.
10O ye who love Jehovah, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his sanctified. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11Light is sown for the righteous man, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous, and give thanks to the memory of his holiness.
