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

2 C loud and darkness round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

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

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

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

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

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

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

9 F or Thou, Jehovah, Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.

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

11 L ight sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart -- joy.

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