^[1] Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!
^[2] Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
^[3] A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.
^[4] 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.
^[12] Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.
