aThe LORD 1reigns, let the bearth rejoice; Let the many 2 cislands be glad.
2aClouds and thick darkness surround Him; bRighteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
3aFire goes before Him And bburns up His adversaries round about.
4His alightnings lit up the world; The earth saw and btrembled.
5The mountains amelted like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the bLord of the whole earth.
6The aheavens declare His righteousness, And ball the peoples have seen His glory.
7Let all those be ashamed who serve agraven images, Who boast themselves of bidols; 1 cWorship Him, all you 2gods.
8Zion 1heard this and awas glad, And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced Because of Your judgments, O LORD.
9For You are the LORD aMost High over all the earth; You are exalted far babove all 1gods.
10aHate evil, you who love the LORD, Who bpreserves the souls of His godly ones; He cdelivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11aLight is sown like seed for the righteous And bgladness for the upright in heart.
12Be aglad in the LORD, you righteous ones, And bgive thanks 1to His holy name.
