1 God raigneth, the earth shalbe glad: the multitude of the Iles shalbe glad therof. The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad! The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice.
2 Cloudes and thicke darknesse are rounde about hym: iustice and iudgement are the habitation of his throne. Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. Clouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 There goeth a fire before his face: and burneth his enemies on euery syde. Fire goes before him and burns up his adversaries all around. Fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side.
4 His lightninges gaue a lyght vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and trembled. His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles. His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.
5 The hylles melted lyke waxe at the presence of God: at the presence of the Lorde of the whole earth. The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth. The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heauens haue declared his iustice: and all the people haue seene his glorie. The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory. The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all peoples see his glory.
7 Confounded be all they that do seruice vnto carued images: and that do glorie in idols, but O gods, you all shall worshyp hym. All worshipers of images are put to shame, who make their boast in worthless idols; worship him, all you gods! All who worship images are put to shame, those who boast in idols— worship him, all you gods!
8 Sion hearde of it, and reioyced: and the daughters of Iuda be glad, because of thy iudgementes O God. Zion hears and is glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of your judgments, O LORD. Zion hears and rejoices and the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments, LORD.
9 For thou art a God hygher then all that are in the earth: thou art exalted farre aboue all gods. For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods. For you, LORD, are the Most High over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods.
10 You that loue God, hate the thyng which is euyll: he preserueth the soules of his saintes, he wyll delyuer them from the hande of the vngodly. O you who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked. Let those who love the LORD hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 There is sowen a lyght for the ryghteous: and gladnesse for such as be vpryght of heart. Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart. Light shines on the righteous and joy on the upright in heart.
12 Reioyce in God O ye ryghteous: and prayse hym at the remembraunce of his holynesse. Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name! Rejoice in the LORD, you who are righteous, and praise his holy name.
