1 | This is to David, when his land was restored to him. The Lord has reigned, let the earth exult. Let the many islands rejoice. |
2 | Clouds and mist are all around him. Justice and judgment are corrections from his throne. |
3 | A fire will precede him, and it will enflame his enemies all around. |
4 | His lightnings have enlightened the whole world. The earth saw, and it was shaken. |
5 | The mountains flowed like wax before the face of the Lord, before the face of the Lord of all the earth. |
6 | The heavens announced his justice, and all peoples saw his glory. |
7 | May all those who adore graven images be confounded, along with those who glory in their false images. All you his Angels: Adore him. |
8 | Zion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Judah exulted because of your judgments, O Lord. |
9 | For you are the Most High Lord over all the earth. You are greatly exalted above all gods. |
10 | You who love the Lord: hate evil. The Lord watches over the souls of his holy ones. He will free them from the hand of the sinner. |
11 | The light has risen for the just, and joy for the upright of heart. |
12 | Rejoice in the Lord, you just ones, and confess to the memory of his sanctuary. |
