The Lord Reigns

1 ^gThe Lord reigns, ^hlet the earth rejoice;
let the many ⁱcoastlands be glad!
2 ^jClouds and thick darkness are all around him;
^krighteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 ^lFire goes before him
and burns up his adversaries all around.
4 His ^mlightnings light up the world;
the earth sees and ⁿtrembles.
5 The mountains ^omelt like ^pwax before the Lord,
before ^qthe Lord of all the earth.
6 ^rThe heavens proclaim his righteousness,
and all ^sthe peoples see his glory.
7 All worshipers of images are ^tput to shame,
who make their boast in ^uworthless idols;
^vworship him, all you gods!
8 Zion hears and ^wis glad,
and the daughters of Judah rejoice,
because of your judgments, O Lord.
9 For you, O Lord, are ^xmost high over all the earth;
you are exalted far above ^yall gods.
10 O you who love the Lord, ^zhate evil!
He ^aapreserves the lives of his ^absaints;
he ^acdelivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 ^adLight ^aeis sown ^{▼▼Most Hebrew manuscripts; one Hebrew manuscript, Septuagint, Syriac, Jerome Light dawns} for the righteous,
and joy for the upright in heart.
12 ^agRejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,
and ^ahgive thanks to his holy name!
