[1] Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice.    Let the multitude of islands
be glad. [2] Clouds and darkness are around him.    Righteousness and
justice are the foundation of his throne. [3] A fire goes before him,	
And burns up his adversaries on every side. [4] His lightning lights up the
world;	  The earth sees, and trembles. [5] The mountains melt like wax at
the presence of Yahweh,    At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
[6] The heavens declare his righteousness.    All the peoples have seen his
glory. [7] Let all them be put to shame who serve engraved images,    Who
boast in their idols.	 Worship him, all you gods! [8] Zion heard and was
glad.	 The daughters of Judah rejoiced,    Because of your judgments,
Yahweh. [9] For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth.    You are
exalted far above all gods. [10] You who love Yahweh, hate evil.    He
preserves the souls of his saints.    He delivers them out of the hand of
the wicked. [11] Light is sown for the righteous,    And gladness for the
upright in heart. [12] Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people!    Give
thanks to his holy Name.      Psalm 98	     A Psalm.
