For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.
Τῷ Δαυὶδ, ὅτε ἡ γῆ αὐτοῦ καθίσταται. Ὁ Κύριος ἐβασίλευσεν, ἀγαλλιάσθω ἡ γῆ, εὐφρανθήτωσαν νῆσοι πολλαί.

12 Brenton verses
Cloud and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
Νεφέλη καὶ γνόφος κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ, δικαιοσύνη καὶ κρίμα κατόρθωσις τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ.
Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.
Πῦρ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ προπορεύσεται, καὶ φλογιεῖ κύκλῳ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ.
His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled.
Ἔφαναν αἱ ἀστραπαὶ αὐτοῦ τῇ οἰκουμένῃ, εἶδε καὶ ἐσαλεύθη ἡ γῆ·
The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
τὰ ὄρη ὡσεὶ κηρὸς ἐτάκησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου, ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου πάσης τῆς γῆς.
The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.
Ἀνήγγειλαν αἱ οὐρανοὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἴδοσαν πάντες οἱ λαοὶ τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ.
Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all ye his angels.
Αἰσχυνθήτωσαν πάντες οἱ προσκυνοῦντες τοῖς γλυπτοῖς, οἱ ἐγκαυχώμενοι ἐν τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν· προσκυνήσατε αὐτῷ πάντες ἄγγελοι αὐτοῦ.
Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of thy judgments, O Lord.
Ἤκουσε καὶ εὐφράνθη Σιὼν, καὶ ἠγαλλιάσαντο αἱ θυγατέρες τῆς Ἰουδαίας, ἕνεκεν τῶν κριμάτων σου Κύριε.
For thou art Lord most high over all the earth; thou art greatly exalted above all gods.
Ὅτι σὺ εἶ Κύριος ὁ ὕψιστος ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, σφόδρα ὑπερυψώθης ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς θεούς.
Ye that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.
Οἱ ἀγαπῶντες τὸν Κύριον, μισεῖτε πονηρόν· φυλάσσει Κύριος τὰς ψυχὰς τῶν ὁσίων αὐτοῦ, ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλῶν ῥύσεται αὐτούς.
Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
Φῶς ἀνέτειλε τῷ δικαίῳ, καὶ τοῖς εὐθέσι τῇ καρδίᾳ εὐφροσύνη.
Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
Εὐφράνθητε δίκαιοι ἐν τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῇ μνήμῃ τῆς ἁγιωσύνης αὐτοῦ.
