1 Onyenwe anyị bụ eze, ka ụwa niile nwee obi ụtọ; ka ndị niile bi nʼebe dị anya ṅụrịa.
THE Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
3 Ọkụ na-enwu enwu na-aga nʼihu ya ọ na-erepịasị ndị iro ya nʼakụkụ ya ọbụla.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
4 Amụma ya na-acha chazuo elu ụwa niile; ụwa niile na-ahụ ya na-ama jijiji.
His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 Ugwu niile na-agbaze dịka mmanụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihu Onyenwe ụwa niile.
The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Eluigwe na-ekwuwapụta ezi omume ya; ndị niile bi nʼụwa na-ahụkwa ebube ya.
The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
7 A na-eme ka ihere mee ndị niile na-efe arụsị niile a pịrị apị ofufe, ndị na-anya isi na chi niile e jiri aka mee feenụ ya ofufe, unu chi niile!
Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
8 Zayọn na-anụ ma na-aṅụrịkwa ọṅụ, obodo nta niile nke Juda na-enwekwa obi ụtọ nʼihi ikpe gị, O Onyenwe anyị.
Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O Lord.
9 Nʼihi na gị, O Onyenwe anyị, bụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu nʼụwa niile; ị bụ onye e buliri elu karịa chi ndị ọzọ niile.
For thou, Lord, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.

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 Ìhè na-amụkwasị onye ezi omume, ọṅụ na-adịkwa nʼime obi onye na-eme ihe ziri ezi.
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Ṅụrịanụ ọṅụ nʼime Onyenwe anyị, unu ndị ezi omume, tookwanụ aha nsọ ya.
Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
