¹ The LORD [1†]reigns; Let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad!

² [2†]Clouds and darkness surround Him; [3†]Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

³ [4†]A fire goes before Him, And burns up His enemies round about.

⁴ [5†]His lightnings light the world; The earth sees and trembles.

⁵ [6†]The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

⁶ [7†]The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples see His glory.

⁹ For You, LORD, are [10†]most high above all the earth; [11†]You are exalted far above all gods.

¹⁰ You who love the LORD, [12†]hate evil! [13†]He preserves the souls of His saints; [14†]He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
