1 Jehovah reigneth: Exult let the earth, Rejoice let the great islands. 2 Clouds and darkness are round about him; Righteousness and judgment are the seat of his throne. 3 A fire before his face shall go, And shall burn up round about his enemies. 4 Enlighten did his lightnings the world; See and tremble shall the earth. 5 The mountains like wax melted at the presence of Jehovah, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 6 Declared have the heavens his righteousness, And seen have all the peoples his glory. 7 Confounded be all those who serve graven images, Who glory in their inventions: Worship before him let all the gods. 8 Heard and rejoiced hath Zion; Exulted have the daughters of Judah, Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah! 9 For thou, O Jehovah! art high above all the earth: Exceedingly exalted art thou above all gods. 10 Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of his meek ones; From the hand of the ungodly he will deliver them. 11 Light is sown for the righteous, And for the upright in heart joy. 12 Rejoice, O ye righteous! in Jehovah, And celebrate the memory of his holiness. |
