Online Bible: New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

1 Jehovah himself has become king! Let the earth be joyful.
Let the many islands rejoice.

2 Clouds and thick gloom are all around him;
Righteousness and judgment are the established place of his throne.

3 Before him a very fire goes,
And it consumes his adversaries all around.

4 His lightnings lighted up the productive land;
The earth saw and came to be in severe pains.

5 The mountains themselves proceeded to melt just like wax on account of Jehovah,
On account of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 The heavens have told forth his righteousness,
And all the peoples have seen his glory.

7 Let all those serving any carved image be ashamed,
Those who are making their boast in valueless gods.
Bow down to him, all YOU gods.

8 Zion heard and began to rejoice,
And the dependent towns of Judah began to be joyful
By reason of your judicial decisions, O Jehovah.

9 For you, O Jehovah, are the Most High over all the earth;
You are very high in your ascent over all [other] gods.

10 O YOU lovers of Jehovah, hate what is bad.
He is guarding the souls of his loyal ones;
Out of the hand of the wicked ones he delivers them.

11 Light itself has flashed up for the righteous one,
And rejoicing even for the ones upright in heart.

12 Rejoice in Jehovah, O YOU righteous ones,
And give thanks to his holy memorial.
