Psalms 97

1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.

huic David quando terra eius restituta est Dominus regnavit exultet terra laetentur insulae multae

2 Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.

nubes et caligo in circuitu eius iustitia et iudicium correctio sedis eius

3 Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.

ignis ante ipsum praecedet et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius

4 His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.

adluxerunt fulgora eius orbi terrae vidit et commota est terra

5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

montes sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini; a facie Domini omnis terrae

6 The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.

adnuntiaverunt caeli iustitiam eius et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius

7 All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!

confundantur omnes qui adorant sculptilia qui gloriantur in simulacris suis adorate eum omnes angeli eius

8 Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.

audivit et laetata est Sion et exultaverunt filiae Iudaeae propter iudicia tua Domine

9 For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

quoniam tu Dominus Altissimus super omnem terram nimis superexaltatus es super omnes deos

10 Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

qui diligitis Dominum odite malum custodit animas sanctorum suorum de manu peccatoris liberabit eos

11 Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.

lux orta est iusto et rectis corde laetitia

12 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.

laetamini iusti in Domino et confitemini memoriae sanctificationis eius
