📚✭The LORD reigns!May the earth rejoice!
May the multitude of islands
be glad!
2 📚✭Clouds and darkness are
around him.
Righteousness✭ and justice are
the foundation of his throne.
3 📚A fire goes before him and
burns up his enemies all around.
4 📚His lightnings lit up 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 📚May all those who serve
graven images,
who boast of idols, be put
to shame✭.
Worship him, all you gods.
8 📚✭Zion heard and was glad,
and the daughters of Judah✭
rejoiced
because of your judgments,
O LORD.
9 📚For you, LORD, are high
above all the earth.
You are exalted far above all gods.
10 📚✭You who love the LORD,
hate evil✭.
He preserves the souls of his saints.
He rescues them from the hand
of the wicked.
11 📚✭Light is sown for the righteous,
and gladness for the upright
in heart.
12 📚Rejoice in the LORD,
you righteous,
and give thanks at the remembrance
of his holy name.
