Psalms 96

¹For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad. ²Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne. ³A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about. ⁴His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled. ⁵The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth. ⁶The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory. ⁷Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels: ⁸Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord. ⁹For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods. ¹⁰You that love the Lord, hate evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner. ¹¹Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart. ¹²Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.
