Psalms 97
1 The Lord reigns! Let the earth be glad, and distant lands be full of joy!
huic David quando terra eius restituta est Dominus regnavit exultet terra laetentur insulae multae
2 He is surrounded by clouds and thick darkness; his throne is founded on justice and right.
nubes et caligo in circuitu eius iustitia et iudicium correctio sedis eius
3 Flames proceed him, burning up his enemies on every side.
ignis ante ipsum praecedet et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius
4 His flashes of lightning light up the world; the earth watches and trembles.
adluxerunt fulgora eius orbi terrae vidit et commota est terra
5 The mountains melt like wax in 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 goodness; everyone sees his glory.
adnuntiaverunt caeli iustitiam eius et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius
7 All those who worship idols are humiliated, those who are proud of their idols—for all “gods” bow down before him.
confundantur omnes qui adorant sculptilia qui gloriantur in simulacris suis adorate eum omnes angeli eius
8 Jerusalem hears this and celebrates; all the towns of Judah are happy because of your judgments, Lord.
audivit et laetata est Sion et exultaverunt filiae Iudaeae propter iudicia tua Domine
9 For you, Lord, are the highest of all, ruling over the whole earth; your position is far above any other god.
quoniam tu Dominus Altissimus super omnem terram nimis superexaltatus es super omnes deos
10 You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of those who are faithful to him, and saves them from the power of wicked people.
qui diligitis Dominum odite malum custodit animas sanctorum suorum de manu peccatoris liberabit eos
11 Light shines on those who do good, giving joy to those who live right.
lux orta est iusto et rectis corde laetitia
12 Be happy in the Lord, you who do right, and thank him for his holy nature!
laetamini iusti in Domino et confitemini memoriae sanctificationis eius
