The Lord reigns, let the earth exult,

Let many islands rejoice.

2 Cloud and darkness are round about him;

Righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne.

3 Fire shall go before him,

And burn up his enemies round about.

4 His lightnings appeared to the world;

The earth saw, and trembled.

5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord,

At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 The heavens have declared his righteousness,

And all the people have seen his glory.

7 Let all that worship graven images be ashamed,

Who boast of their idols;

Worship him, all ye his angels.

8 Zion heard and rejoiced;

And the daughters of Judea exulted,

Because of thy judgments, O Lord.

9 For thou art Lord most high over all the earth;

Thou art greatly exalted above all gods.

10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil;

The Lord preserves the souls of his saints;

He shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.

11 Light is sprung up for the righteous,

And gladness for the upright in heart.

12 Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous;

And give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
