• The Lord’s Power and Dominion.

  • 1 The Lord reigns, may the earth rejoice; May the many islands be joyful.
  • 2 Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
  • 3 Fire goes before Him And burns up His enemies all around.
  • 4 His lightning lit up the world; The earth saw it and trembled.
  • 5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
  • 6 The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.
  • 7 May all those be ashamed who serve carved images, Who boast in idols; Worship Him, all you gods.
  • 8 Zion heard this and was joyful, And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced Because of Your judgments, Lord.
  • 9 For You are the Lord Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.
  • 10 Hate evil, you who love the Lord, Who watches over the souls of His godly ones; He saves them from the hand of the wicked.
  • 11 Light is sown like seed for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.
  • 12 Be joyful in the Lord, you righteous ones, And praise the mention of His holy name.
