1  ^xThe Lord reigns, ^ylet the earth rejoice;

let the many ^zcoastlands be glad!

2  ^aClouds and thick darkness are all around him;

^brighteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

3  ^cFire goes before him

and burns up his adversaries all around.

4  His ^dlightnings light up the world;

the earth sees and ^etrembles.

5  The mountains ^fmelt like ^gwax before the Lord,

before ^hthe Lord of all the earth.

6  ⁱThe heavens proclaim his righteousness,

and all ^jthe peoples see his glory.

7  All worshipers of images are ^kput to shame,

who make their boast in ^lworthless idols;

^mworship him, all you gods!

8  Zion hears and ⁿis glad,

and the daughters of Judah rejoice,

because of your judgments, O Lord.

9  For you, O Lord, are ^omost high over all the earth;

you are exalted far above ^pall gods.

10  O you who love the Lord, ^qhate evil!

He ^rpreserves the lives of his ^ssaints;

he ^tdelivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11  ^uLight ^vis sown¹ for the righteous,

and joy for the upright in heart.

12  ^wRejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,

and ^xgive thanks to his holy name!

1  ^sThe Lord reigns; ^tlet the peoples tremble!

He ^usits enthroned upon the cherubim; ^vlet the earth quake!

2  The Lord is ^wgreat in Zion;

he is ^xexalted over all the peoples.

3  Let them praise your ^ygreat and awesome name!

^zHoly is he!

4  ^aThe King in his might ^bloves justice.¹

You have established equity;

you have executed justice

and righteousness in Jacob.

5  ^cExalt the Lord our God;

^dworship at his ^efootstool!

^zHoly is he!

6  ^fMoses and Aaron were among his ^gpriests,

Samuel also was among those who ^hcalled upon his name.

They ⁱcalled to the Lord, and he answered them.

7  In ^jthe pillar of the cloud he spoke to them;

they ^kkept his testimonies

and the statute that he gave them.

8  O Lord our God, you answered them;

you were ^la forgiving God to them,

but ^man avenger of their wrongdoings.

9  Exalt the Lord our God,

and worship at his ⁿholy mountain;

for the Lord our God is holy!

1  But now thus says the Lord,

^mhe who created you, O Jacob,

he who formed you, O Israel:

ⁿ“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

^oI have called you by name, you are mine.

2  ^pWhen you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;

^pwhen you walk through fire ^qyou shall not be burned,

and the flame shall not consume you.

3  For ^rI am the Lord your God,

the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

^sI give Egypt as your ransom,

Cush and ^tSeba in exchange for you.

4  Because you are precious in my eyes,

and honored, and I love you,

I give men in return for you,

peoples in exchange for your life.

5  ^uFear not, for I am with you;

^vI will bring your offspring from the east,

and from the west I will gather you.

6  I will say to the north, Give up,

and to the south, Do not withhold;

bring ^wmy sons from afar

and ^wmy daughters from the end of the earth,

7  everyone who is called by my name,

whom I created for my glory,

whom I formed and made.”

8  Bring out ^xthe people who are blind, yet have eyes,

who are deaf, yet have ears!

9  ^yAll the nations gather together,

and the peoples assemble.

Who among them can declare this,

and show us the former things?

Let them bring their witnesses to prove them right,

and let them hear and say, It is true.

10  ^z“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,

“and ^amy servant whom I have chosen,

that you may know and believe me

and understand that I am he.

^bBefore me no god was formed,

nor shall there be any after me.

11  ^cI, I am the Lord,

and besides me there is no savior.

12  I declared and saved and proclaimed,

when there was no strange god among you;

and ^zyou are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and I am God.
