Let the Multitude of Islands Be Glad!

1{96:1}For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.

2{96:2}Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.

3{96:3}A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about.

4{96:4}His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled.

5{96:5}The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

6{96:6}The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.

7{96:7}Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:

8{96:8}Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord.

9{96:9}For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.

10{96:10}You 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.

11{96:11}Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart.

12{96:12}Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.
