1Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.

1A psalm for David himself. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: because he hath done wonderful things. His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, and his arm is holy.

2Cloud and darkness <FI>are<Fi> round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

2The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.

3Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.

3He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.

4Sing joyfully to God, all the earth; make melody, rejoice and sing.

5Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.

5Sing praise to the Lord on the harp, on the harp, and with the voice of a psalm:

6The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.

6With long trumpets, and sound of cornet. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king:

7Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

7Let the sea be moved and the fullness thereof: the world and they that dwell therein.

8Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.

8The rivers shall clap their hands, the mountains shall rejoice together

9For Thou, Jehovah, <FI>art<Fi> Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.

9At the presence of the Lord: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with equity.

10Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.

11Light <FI>is<Fi> sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart--joy.

12Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
