Let the earth rejoice

1
The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.(a)
2
Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.(b)
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.(c)
