| 1 | For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad. | 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 | Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment 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 | A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about. | Fire goes before him and burns up his adversaries all around. | Fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side. | |
| 4 | His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw 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 mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence 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 | The heavens declared his justice: and all people 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 | Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels: | 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 heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy 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 | For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly 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 | You that love the Lord, hate evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of 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 | Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right 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 | Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness. | 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. | |
