1 <V 96:1>This is to David, when his land was restored to him. The Lord has reigned, let the earth exult. Let the many islands rejoice. 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 <V 96:2>Clouds and mist are all around him. Justice and judgment are corrections from 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 <V 96:3>A fire will precede him, and it will enflame his enemies all around. Fire goes before him and burns up his adversaries all around. Fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side.
4 <V 96:4>His lightnings have enlightened the whole world. The earth saw, and it was shaken. His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles. His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.
5 <V 96:5>The mountains flowed like wax before the face of the Lord, before the face of the Lord of all the 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 <V 96:6>The heavens announced his justice, and all peoples saw his glory. The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory. The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all peoples see his glory.
7 <V 96:7>May all those who adore graven images be confounded, along with those who glory in their false images. All you his Angels: Adore him. 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 <V 96:8>Zion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Judah exulted because of your judgments, O Lord. 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 <V 96:9>For you are the Most High Lord over all the earth. You are greatly exalted above 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 <V 96:10>You who love the Lord: hate evil. The Lord watches over the souls of his holy ones. He will free them from the hand of the sinner. 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 <V 96:11>The light has risen for the just, and joy for the upright 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 <V 96:12>Rejoice in the Lord, you just ones, and confess to the memory of his sanctuary. 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.
