Text size

1 The LORD reigneth let the earth rejoice let the multitude of isles be glad thereof ⚑

2 Clouds and darkness are round about him righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne ⚑

3 A fire goeth before him and burneth up his enemies round about ⚑

4 His lightnings enlightened the world the earth saw and trembled ⚑

5 The hills 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 people see his glory ⚑

7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images that boast themselves of idols worship him all ye gods ⚑

8 Zion heard and was glad and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments O LORD ⚑

9 For thou LORD art high above all the earth thou art exalted far above all gods ⚑

10 Ye that love the LORD hate evil he preserveth the souls of his saints he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked ⚑

11 Light is sown for the righteous and gladness for the upright in heart ⚑

12 Rejoice in the LORD ye righteous and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness ⚑
