Psalm 96:1–12

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.
