Psalm 96
1 For David, when his land is established.
The Lord reigneth, let the earth exult,
let many islands rejoice.
2 Cloud and darkness are round about him;
righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
3 Fire shall go before him,
and burn up his enemies round about.
4 His lightnings appeared to the world;
the earth saw, and trembled.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens have declared his righteousness,
and all the people have seen his glory.
7 [1]Let all that worship graven images be ashamed,
who boast of their idols;
worship him, all ye his angels.
8 Sion heard and rejoiced;
and the daughters of Judea exulted,
because of thy judgments, O Lord.
9 For thou art Lord most high over all the earth;
thou art greatly exalted above all gods.
10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil;
the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints;
he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.
11 Light is sprung up for the righteous,
and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous;
and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
