Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1The LORD reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!
1Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ. ΑΣΑΤΕ τῷ Κυρίῳ ᾆσμα καινόν, ὅτι θαυμαστὰ ἐποίησεν ὁ Κύριος· ἔσωσεν αὐτὸν ἡ δεξιὰ αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ βραχίων ὁ ἅγιος αὐτοῦ.
2Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
2ἐγνώρισε Κύριος τὸ σωτήριον αὐτοῦ, ἐναντίον τῶν ἐθνῶν ἀπεκάλυψε τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ.
3A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries 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 lights up 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, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
5ψάλατε τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν κιθάρᾳ, ἐν κιθάρᾳ καὶ φωνῇ ψαλμοῦ·
6The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.
6ἐν σάλπιγξιν ἐλαταῖς καὶ φωνῇ σάλπιγγος κερατίνης ἀλαλάξατε ἐνώπιον τοῦ Βασιλέως Κυρίου.
7Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!
7σαλευθήτω ἡ θάλασσα καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς, ἡ οἰκουμένη καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ.
8Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, LORD.
8ποταμοὶ κροτήσουσι χειρὶ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό, τὰ ὄρη ἀγαλλιάσονται,
9For you, LORD, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
9ὅτι ἥκει κρῖναι τὴν γῆν· κρινεῖ τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ λαοὺς ἐν εὐθύτητι.
10You who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
