Chapter 96 | Psalms | Contents

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.
