And burns up His enemies round about.

At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

And all the peoples see His glory.

Who boast of idols.
Worship Him, all you gods.

And the daughters of Judah rejoice
Because of Your judgments, O LORD.

You are exalted far above all gods.

He preserves the souls of His saints;
He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

And gladness for the upright in heart.

And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.[fn]
