Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.
1Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυίδ. Ἄσατε τῷ Κυρίῳ ᾆσμα καινὸν, ὅτι θαυμαστὰ ἐποίησεν ὁ Κύριος· ἔσωσεν αὐτῷ ἡ δεξιὰ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ βραχίων ὁ ἅγιος αὐτοῦ.
2Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.
2Ἐγνώρισε Κύριος τὸ σωτήριον αὐτοῦ, ἐναντίον τῶν ἐθνῶν ἀπεκάλυψε τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ.
3Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.
3Ἐμνήσθη τοῦ ἐλέους αὐτοῦ τῷ Ἰακὼβ, καὶ τῆς ἀληθείας αὐτοῦ τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ· εἴδοσαν πάντα τὰ πέρατα τῆς γῆς τὸ σωτήριον τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν.
4His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.
4Ἀλαλάξατε τῷ Θεῷ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ, ᾄσατε καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε καὶ ψάλατε.
5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
5Ψάλατε τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν κιθάρᾳ, ἐν κιθάρᾳ καὶ φωνῇ ψαλμοῦ.
6The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.
6Ἐν σάλπιγξιν ἐλαταῖς, καὶ φωνῇ σάλπιγγος κερατίνης· ἀλαλάξατε ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως Κυρίῳ.
7All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!
7Σαλευθήτω ἡ θάλασσα καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς, ἡ οἰκουμένη καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες αὐτήν.
8Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.
8Ποταμοὶ κροτήσουσι χειρὶ ἐπιτοαυτὸ, τὰ ὄρη ἀγαλλιάσονται.
9For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.
9Ὅτι ἥκει κρῖναι τὴν γῆν· κρινεῖ τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, καὶ λαοὺς ἐν εὐθύτητι.
10Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
