The LORD'S Power and Dominion.

^1 (C1)The LORD ^(F1)reigns, may the ^(C2)earth rejoice;
May the many ^(F2)(C3)islands be joyful.

^2 (C1)Clouds and thick darkness surround Him;
^(C2)Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

^3 (C1)Fire goes before Him
And ^(C2)burns up His enemies all around.

⁴ His ^(C1)lightning lit up the world;
The earth saw it and ^(C2)trembled.

⁵ The mountains ^(C1)melted like wax at the presence of the LORD,
At the presence of the ^(C2)Lord of the whole earth.

⁶ The ^(C1)heavens declare His righteousness,
And ^(C2)all the peoples have seen His glory.

⁷ May all those be ashamed who serve ^(C1)carved images,
Who boast in ^(C2)idols;
^(F1)(C3)Worship Him, all you ^(F2)gods.

⁸ Zion ^(F1)heard this and ^(C1)was joyful,
And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced
Because of Your judgments, LORD.

⁹ For You are the LORD ^(C1)Most High over all the earth;
You are exalted far ^(C2)above all ^(F1)gods.

^10 (C1)Hate evil, you who love the LORD,
Who ^(C2)watches over the souls of His godly ones;
He ^(C3)saves them from the hand of the wicked.

^11 (C1)Light is sown like seed for the righteous,
And ^(C2)gladness for the upright in heart.

¹² Be ^(C1)joyful in the LORD, you righteous ones,
And ^(C2)praise ^(F1)the mention of His holy name.
