1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; Let the many islands be glad.

2 Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

3 Fire goes before Him And burns up His adversaries round about.

4 His lightnings lit up 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 declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.

7 Let all those be ashamed who serve graven images, Who boast themselves of idols; Worship Him, all you gods.

8 Zion heard this and was glad, And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced Because of Your judgments, O LORD.

9 For You are the LORD Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

10 Hate evil, you who love the LORD, Who preserves the souls of His godly ones; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

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