¹The Lord reigns.

Let the earth be glad;

Let the many coastlands rejoice.

²A cloud and gloom are around him;

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

³Fire goes in front of him

And sets his adversaries on fire all around.

⁴His lightning flashes light up the world;

The earth sees and trembles.

⁵Mountains melt like wax before the Lord

– Before the Lord of all the earth.

⁶The heavens tell of his righteousness,

And all the nations see his glory.

⁷All who serve carved images will be ashamed

– Those who boast in idols.

⁸Zion heard and rejoiced,

And the daughters of Judah were glad,

On account of your judgments, O Lord.

⁹For you, O Lord, are the Most High,

Over all the earth.

You are exalted

Far above all gods.

¹⁰You who love the Lord, hate evil.

He watches over the lives of those under his grace;

He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

¹¹Light is sown to the righteous,

And joy to the upright in heart.

¹²Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous,

And give thanks at the mention of his holiness.
