1 ¶ The LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

2 C louds and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the seat of his throne.

3 A fire shall go before him and burn up his enemies round about.

4 H is lightnings enlightened the world; the earth saw and trembled.

5 T he mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 T he heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.

7 L et all those that serve graven images be confounded, those that boast 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 F or thou, O LORD, art high above all the earth; thou art exalted far above all gods.

10 Y e that love the LORD are to hate evil; he preserves the souls of his saints; he delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

11 L ight is sown for the righteous and gladness for the upright in heart.

12 R ejoice in the LORD, ye righteous, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
