NET BibleKing James Bible
1The LORD reigns! Let the earth be happy! Let the many coastlands rejoice! 1The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
2Dark clouds surround him; equity and justice are the foundation of his throne. 2Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
3Fire goes before him; on every side it burns up his enemies. 3A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
4His lightning bolts light up the world; the earth sees and trembles. 4His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of the whole earth. 5The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6The sky declares his justice, and all the nations see his splendor. 6The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
7All who worship idols are ashamed, those who boast about worthless idols. All the gods bow down before him. 7Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
8Zion hears and rejoices, the towns of Judah are happy, because of your judgments, O LORD. 8Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
9For you, O LORD, are the sovereign king over the whole earth; you are elevated high above all gods. 9For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
10You who love the LORD, hate evil! He protects the lives of his faithful followers; he delivers them from the power of the wicked. 10Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11The godly bask in the light; the morally upright experience joy. 11Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12You godly ones, rejoice in the LORD! Give thanks to his holy name. 12Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
