Jehovah reigneth: let the earth be glad, let the many isles rejoice.

2 עָנָן וַעֲרָפֶל סְבִיבָיו צֶדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט מְכוֹן כִּסְאֽוֹ׃

Clouds and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.

His lightnings lightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.

7 יֵבֹשׁוּ ׀ כׇּל־עֹבְדֵי פֶסֶל הַמִּֽתְהַלְלִים בָּאֱלִילִים הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לוֹ כׇּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃

Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols. Worship him, all ye gods.

8 שָׁמְעָה וַתִּשְׂמַח ׀ צִיּוֹן וַתָּגֵלְנָה בְּנוֹת יְהוּדָה לְמַעַן מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ יְהֹוָֽה׃

Zion heard, and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.

9 כִּֽי־אַתָּה יְהֹוָה עֶלְיוֹן עַל־כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ מְאֹד נַעֲלֵיתָ עַל־כׇּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃

For thou, Jehovah, art the Most High above all the earth; thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.

10 אֹֽהֲבֵי יְהֹוָה שִׂנְאוּ ־ רָע שֹׁמֵר נַפְשׁוֹת חֲסִידָיו מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים יַצִּילֵֽם׃

Ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints, he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
