The Lord’s Power and Dominion.

1
(A)The Lord (a)reigns, let the (B)earth rejoice;
Let the many (b)(C)islands be glad.
Tools
2
(D)Clouds and thick darkness surround Him;
(E)Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
Tools
3
(F)Fire goes before Him
And (G)burns up His adversaries round about.
Tools
4
His (H)lightnings lit up the world;
The earth saw and (I)trembled.
Tools
5
The mountains (J)melted like wax at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the (K)Lord of the whole earth.
Tools
6
The (L)heavens declare His righteousness,
And (M)all the peoples have seen His glory.
Tools
7
Let all those be ashamed who serve (N)graven images,
Who boast themselves of (O)idols;
(c)(P)Worship Him, all you (d)gods.
Tools
8
Zion (e)heard this and (Q)was glad,
And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced
Because of Your judgments, O Lord.
Tools
9
For You are the Lord (R)Most High over all the earth;
You are exalted far (S)above all (f)gods.
Tools
10
(T)Hate evil, you who love the Lord,
Who (U)preserves the souls of His godly ones;
He (V)delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
Tools
11
(W)Light is sown like seed for the righteous
And (X)gladness for the upright in heart.
Tools
12
Be (Y)glad in the Lord, you righteous ones,
And (Z)give thanks (g)to His holy name.
