1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: Righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

3 A fire goeth before him, And burneth up his enemies round about.

4 His lightnings enlightened the world: The earth saw, and trembled.

5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 The heavens declare his righteousness, And all the people see his glory.

7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, That boast themselves 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 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: Thou art exalted far above all gods.

10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of his saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

11 Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.

12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
