Psalms 97

1 The Lord reigneth: let the earth reioyce: let the multitude of the yles be glad.

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

2 Cloudes and darkenes are round about him: righteousnesse and iudgement are the foundation of his throne.

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

3 There shall goe a fire before him, and burne vp his enemies round about.

ignis ante ipsum praecedet et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius

4 His lightnings gaue light vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and was afraide.

adluxerunt fulgora eius orbi terrae vidit et commota est terra

5 The mountaines melted like waxe 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 heauens declare his righteousnes, and all the people see his glory.

adnuntiaverunt caeli iustitiam eius et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius

7 Confounded be all they that serue grauen images, and that glory in idoles: worship him all ye gods.

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

8 Zion heard of it, and was glad: and the daughters of Iudah reioyced, because of thy iudgements, O Lord.

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

9 For thou, Lord, art most High aboue all the earth: thou art much exalted aboue all gods.

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

10 Ye that loue the Lord, hate euill: he preserueth the soules of his Saints: hee will deliuer them from the hand of the wicked.

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

11 Light is sowen for the righteous, and ioy for the vpright in heart.

lux orta est iusto et rectis corde laetitia

12 Reioyce ye righteous in the Lord, and giue thankes for his holy remembrance.

laetamini iusti in Domino et confitemini memoriae sanctificationis eius
