< Psalms 97 >
1 For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.
huic David quando terra eius restituta est Dominus regnavit exultet terra laetentur insulae multae
2 Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgement are the establishment of his throne.
nubes et caligo in circuitu eius iustitia et iudicium correctio sedis eius
3 Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.
ignis ante ipsum praecedet et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius
4 His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled.
adluxerunt fulgora eius orbi terrae vidit et commota est terra
5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
montes sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini; a facie Domini omnis terrae
6 The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.
adnuntiaverunt caeli iustitiam eius et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius
7 Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all you his angels.
confundantur omnes qui adorant sculptilia qui gloriantur in simulacris suis adorate eum omnes angeli eius
8 Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of your judgements, O Lord.
audivit et laetata est Sion et exultaverunt filiae Iudaeae propter iudicia tua Domine
9 For you are Lord most high over all the earth; you are greatly exalted above all gods.
quoniam tu Dominus Altissimus super omnem terram nimis superexaltatus es super omnes deos
10 You that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.
qui diligitis Dominum odite malum custodit animas sanctorum suorum de manu peccatoris liberabit eos
11 Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
lux orta est iusto et rectis corde laetitia
12 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
laetamini iusti in Domino et confitemini memoriae sanctificationis eius
