Psalms 96

¹To this David, when his land was restored again to him. Our Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many Islands be glad.

²Cloud and mist round about him: justice and judgment the correction of his seat.

³Fire shall go before him, and shall inflame his enemies round about.

⁴His lightnings shined to the round world, the earth saw: and was moved.

⁵The mountains melted as wax, before the face of our Lord: before the face of our Lord all the earth.

⁶The heavens have shewed forth his justice: and all peoples have seen his glory.

⁷Let them all be confounded, that adore sculptiles: and that glory in their idols. Adore him all ye his Angels:

⁸Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, o Lord.

⁹Because thou Lord most high over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.

¹⁰You that love our Lord, hate ye evil, our Lord keepeth the souls of his saints, out of the hand of the sinner he will deliver them.

¹¹Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart.

¹²Be glad ye just in our Lord: and confess ye to the memory of his sanctification.
