Jehovah reigns, let all the Earth by Benjamin Jacob — Lyrics
Psalm 97
Jehovah reigns, let all the earth
In his just government rejoice;
Let all the isles, with sacred mirth,
In his applause unite their voice.
Darkness and clouds of awful shade
His dazzling glory shroud in state;
Justice and truth his guards are made,
And, fix'd by his pavilion, wait.

About Jehovah reigns, let all the Earth
Benjamin Jacob’s Jehovah reigns, let all the Earth offers a majestic setting of Psalm 97 for SATB choir. The music opens with a sense of grandeur, reflecting the text’s proclamation of God’s sovereign rule. The choir’s interplay builds a powerful depiction of divine glory, justice, and truth. The text itself, taken from Psalm 97, is a jubilant call for all nations to rejoice in God’s righteous reign, highlighting his power, his provision of light for the faithful, and the ultimate reward for those who trust in him. This is a stirring anthem suitable for services where the omnipotence and faithfulness of God are to be celebrated.
