1Yahweh reigns!
Let the earth rejoice!
Let the multitude of islands be glad!
2Clouds and darkness are around him.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3A fire goes before him,
and burns up his adversaries on every side.
4His lightning lights up the world.
The earth sees, and trembles.
5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh,
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6The heavens declare his righteousness.
All the peoples have seen his glory.
7Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images,
who boast in their idols.
Worship him, all you gods!
8Zion heard and was glad.
The daughters of Judah rejoiced,
because of your judgments, Yahweh.
9For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth.
You are exalted far above all gods.
10You who love Yahweh, hate evil.
He preserves the souls of his saints.
He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11Light is sown for the righteous,
and gladness for the upright in heart.
12Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people!
Give thanks to his holy Name.
1Yahweh reigns! Let the peoples tremble.
He sits enthroned among the cherubim.
Let the earth be moved.
2Yahweh is great in Zion.
He is high above all the peoples.
3Let them praise your great and awesome name.
He is Holy!
4The King’s strength also loves justice.
You do establish equity.
You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5Exalt Yahweh our God.
Worship at his footstool.
He is Holy!
6Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
Samuel among those who call on his name;
they called on Yahweh, and he answered them.
7He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud.
They kept his testimonies,
the statute that he gave them.
8You answered them, Yahweh our God.
You are a God who forgave them,
although you took vengeance for their doings.
9Exalt Yahweh, our God.
Worship at his holy hill,
for Yahweh, our God, is holy!
1Shout for joy to Yahweh, all you lands!
2Serve Yahweh with gladness.
Come before his presence with singing.
3Know that Yahweh, he is God.
It is he who has made us, and we are his.
We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him, and bless his name.
5For Yahweh is good.
His loving kindness endures forever,
his faithfulness to all generations.
