 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; Let the many islands be glad. | 1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. | 1 Jehovah reigneth; let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad. | 1 For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad. | 1 Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice. | 2 Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. | 2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. | 2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. | 2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne. | 2 Cloud and darkness are round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne. | 3 Fire goes before Him And burns up His adversaries round about. | 3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. | 3 A fire goeth before him, And burneth up his adversaries round about. | 3 A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about. | 3 Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries. | 4 His lightnings lit up the world; The earth saw and trembled. | 4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. | 4 His lightnings lightened the world: The earth saw, and trembled. | 4 His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled. | 4 Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained. | 5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. | 5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. | 5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. | 5 The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth. | 5 Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory. | 6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. | 6 The heavens declare his righteousness, And all the peoples have seen his glory. | 6 The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory. | 6 The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour. | 7 Let all those be ashamed who serve graven images, Who boast themselves of idols; Worship Him, all you gods. | 7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods. | 7 Let all them be put to shame that serve graven images, That boast themselves of idols: Worship him, all ye gods. | 7 Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels: | 7 Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods. | 8 Zion heard this and was glad, And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced Because of Your judgments, O LORD. | 8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. | 8 Zion heard and was glad, And the daughters of Judah rejoiced, Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah. | 8 Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord. | 8 Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah. | 9 For You are the LORD Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods. | 9 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. | 9 For thou, Jehovah, art most high above all the earth: Thou art exalted far above all gods. | 9 For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods. | 9 For Thou, Jehovah, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods. | 10 Hate evil, you who love the LORD, Who preserves the souls of His godly ones; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked. | 10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. | 10 O ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of his saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. | 10 You that love the Lord, hate evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner. | 10 Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 Light is sown like seed for the righteous And gladness for the upright in heart. | 11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. | 11 Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart. | 11 Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart. | 11 Light is sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart -- joy. | 12 Be glad in the LORD, you righteous ones, And give thanks to His holy name. | 12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. | 12 Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous; And give thanks to his holy memorial name . | 12 Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness. | 12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness! |
