Psalms 97
1 Jehovah reigns! Let the earth rejoice. Let the multitude of isles be glad.
Huic David, Quando terra eius restituta est. Dominus regnavit, exultet terra: lætentur insulæ multæ.
2 Clouds and darkness are round about him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
Nubes, et caligo in circuitu eius: iustitia, et iudicium correctio sedis eius.
3 A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries round about.
Ignis ante ipsum præcedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius.
4 His lightnings lightened the world. The earth saw, and trembled.
Illuxerunt fulgura eius orbi terræ: vidit, et commota est terra.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
Montes, sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini: a facie Domini omnis terra.
6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples have seen his glory.
Annunciaverunt cæli iustitiam eius: et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius.
7 Let all those be put to shame who serve graven images, who boast themselves of idols. Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.
Confundantur omnes, qui adorant sculptilia: et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli eius:
8 Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.
audivit, et lætata est Sion. Et exultaverunt filiæ Iudæ, propter iudicia tua Domine:
9 For thou, Jehovah, are most high above all the earth. Thou are exalted far above all gods.
Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram: nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.
10 O ye who love Jehovah, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his sanctified. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum: custodit Dominus animas sanctorum suorum, de manu peccatoris liberabit eos.
11 Light is sown for the righteous man, and gladness for the upright in heart.
Lux orta est iusto, et rectis corde lætitia.
12 Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous, and give thanks to the memory of his holiness.
Lætamini iusti in Domino: et confitemini memoriæ sanctificationis eius.
