The earth saw, and trembled.

At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

That boast themselves of idols:
Worship him, all ye gods.

Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.

He preserveth the souls of his saints;
He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

Light is sown for the righteous,
And gladness for the upright in heart.

And give thanks to his holy memorial name.
