1 For David, when his land is established.
The Lord reigns, let the earth exult,
Let many islands rejoice.
2 Cloud and darkness are round about him;
Righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
3 Fire shall go before him,
And burn up his enemies round about.
4 His lightnings appeared to the world;
The earth saw, and trembled.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens have declared his righteousness,
And all the people have seen his glory.
7 Let all that worship graven images be ashamed,
Who boast of their idols;
Worship him, all ye his angels.
8 Zion heard and rejoiced;
And the daughters of Judea exulted,
Because of thy judgments, O Lord.
9 For thou art Lord most high over all the earth;
Thou art greatly exalted above all gods.
10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil;
The Lord preserves the souls of his saints;
He shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.
11 Light is sprung up for the righteous,
And gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous;
