  1. 1<pb/><t>The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad;</t> <t>let the distant shores rejoice.</t>

  3. 3<t>Fire goes before him</t> <t>and consumes his foes on every side.</t>
  4. 4<t>His lightning lights up the world;</t> <t>the earth sees and trembles.</t>
  5. 5<t>The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,</t> <t>before the Lord of all the earth.</t>
  6. 6<t>The heavens proclaim his righteousness,</t> <t>and all peoples see his glory. <pb/></t>
  7. 7<t>All who worship images are put to shame,</t> <t>those who boast in idols—</t> <t>worship him, all you gods! <pb/></t>
  8. 8<t>Zion hears and rejoices</t> <t>and the villages of Judah are glad</t> <t>because of your judgments, LORD.</t>
  9. 9<t>For you, LORD, are the Most High over all the earth;</t> <t>you are exalted far above all gods.</t>
  10. 10<t>Let those who love the LORD hate evil,</t> <t>for he guards the lives of his faithful ones</t> <t>and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.</t>
