^1 (a)The Lord ^[a]reigns, let the ^(b)earth rejoice;
Let the many ^[b](c)islands be glad.
^2 (d)Clouds and thick darkness surround Him;
^(e)Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
^3 (f)Fire goes before Him
And ^(g)burns up His adversaries round about.
⁴ His ^(h)lightnings lit up the world;
The earth saw and ⁽ⁱ⁾trembled.
⁵ The mountains ^(j)melted like wax at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the ^(k)Lord of the whole earth.
⁶ The ^(l)heavens declare His righteousness,
And ^(m)all the peoples have seen His glory.

⁷ Let all those be ashamed who serve ⁽ⁿ⁾graven images,
Who boast themselves of ^(o)idols;
^[c](p)Worship Him, all you ^[d]gods.
⁸ Zion ^[e]heard this and ^(q)was glad,
And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced
Because of Your judgments, O Lord.
⁹ For You are the Lord ^(r)Most High over all the earth;
You are exalted far ^(s)above all ^[f]gods.

^10 (t)Hate evil, you who love the Lord,
Who ^(u)preserves the souls of His godly ones;
He ^(v)delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
^11 (w)Light is sown like seed for the righteous
And ^(x)gladness for the upright in heart.
¹² Be ^(y)glad in the Lord, you righteous ones,
And ^(z)give thanks ^[g]to His holy name.
