[1] The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad.

[2] Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.

[3] A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about.

[4] His lightnings lightened 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 peoples have seen his glory.

[7] Ashamed 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 most high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.

[10] O 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] Be glad in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks to his holy name.
