Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1The LORD reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!
1A psalm for David himself. Sing ye to the Lord anew canticle: because he hath done wonderful things. His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, and his arm is holy.
2Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
2The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.
3A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.
3He hath remembered his mercy his truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.
4Sing joyfully to God, all the earth; make melody, rejoice and sing.
5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
5Sing praise to the Lord on the harp, on the harp, and with the voice of a psalm:
6The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.
6With long trumpets, and sound of comet. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king:
7Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!
7Let the sea be moved and the fulness thereof: the world and they that dwell therein.
8Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, LORD.
8The rivers shall clap their hands, the mountains shall rejoice together
9For you, LORD, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
9At the presence of the Lord: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with equity.
10You who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
