Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!

Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.
|

His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.
|
| 5 |
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
|
| 6 |
The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.
|
| 7 |
Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!
|
| 8 |
Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, Yahweh.
|
| 9 |
For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
|
| 10 |
You who love Yahweh, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
|
| 11 |
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
|

Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.
