Let the earth rejoice
1
YHWH has reigned, || The earth is joyful, many islands rejoice.
2
Cloud and darkness [are] around Him, || Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.
3
Fire goes before Him, || And burns around His adversaries.
4
His lightnings have lightened the world, || The earth has seen, and is pained.
5
Hills, like wax, melted before YHWH, || Before the Lord of all the earth.
6
The heavens declared His righteousness, || And all the peoples have seen His glory.
7
All servants of a carved image are ashamed, || Those boasting themselves in idols, || Bow yourselves to Him, all you gods.
8
Zion has heard and rejoices, || And daughters of Judah are joyful, || Because of Your judgments, O YHWH.
9
For You, YHWH, [are] Most High over all the earth, || You have been exalted greatly over all gods.
10
You who love YHWH, hate evil, || He is keeping the souls of His saints, || He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11
Light [is] sown for the righteous, || And joy for the upright of heart.
12
Rejoice, you righteous, in YHWH, || And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness!
