Commentary on Psalms - Volume 5

1Jehovah reigneth: Exult let the earth, Rejoice let the great islands.

2Clouds and darkness are round about him; Righteousness and judgment are the seat of his throne.

3A fire before his face shall go, And shall burn up round about his enemies.

4Enlighten did his lightnings the world; See and tremble shall the earth.

5The mountains like wax melted at the presence of Jehovah, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6Declared have the heavens his righteousness, And seen have all the peoples his glory.

7Confounded be all those who serve graven images, Who glory in their inventions: Worship before him let all the gods.

8Heard and rejoiced hath Zion; Exulted have the daughters of Judah, Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah!

9For thou, O Jehovah! art high above all the earth: Exceedingly exalted art thou above all gods.

10Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of his meek ones; From the hand of the ungodly he will deliver them.

11Light is sown for the righteous, And for the upright in heart joy.

12Rejoice, O ye righteous! in Jehovah, And celebrate the memory of his holiness.
