Only Version ❧ HM/HMD · 6·6·6·6·8·8 (D)
1 The Lord doth reign, the earth O let hereat rejoice: the many isles with mirth let them lift up their voice. 2 About him round dark clouds there went, right and judgment his throne do found.
3 Before him fire doth go, and burns his foes about. 4 The world was light also by lightnings he sent out: the earth it saw and it trembl’d. 5 The hills melted like wax away
at presence of the Lord: at his presence who is of all the earth the Lord. 6 That righteousness of his the heavens high they do forth show: all folk also see his glory.
7 Who graven images do serve, on them remain let dreadful shamefulness: and who in idols vain themselves do boast: with worship bow to him all you God’s angels’ host.
8 Zion heard, and was glad, glad Judah’s daughters were, this cause, O Lord, they had, thy judgments did appear. 9 For Lord thou high all earth set o’er: all gods before in dignity.
10 Ye that do love the Lord, the evil hate do ye; to his saints’ souls afford protection doth he: he will for them freedom command out of the hand of wicked men.
11 For men that righteous are surely there is sown light: and gladness for their share that are in heart upright. 12 Joy in the Lord, ye just confess, his holiness while ye record.
