< Psalms 97 >
1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad.
Psalmus David, Quando terra eius restituta est ei. Dominus regnavit, exultet terra: laetentur insulae multae.
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 goeth before Him, and burneth up His adversaries round about.
Ignis ante ipsum praecedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius.
4 His lightnings lighted up the world; the earth saw, and trembled.
Alluxerunt fulgura 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 terra.
6 The heavens declared His righteousness, and all the peoples saw His glory.
Annunciaverunt caeli iustitiam eius: et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius.
7 Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of things of nought; bow down 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 LORD.
audivit, et laetata est Sion. Et exultaverunt filiae Iuda, propter iudicia tua Domine:
9 For Thou, LORD, art most high above all the earth; Thou art exalted far above all gods.
Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram: nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.
10 O ye that love the LORD, hate evil; He preserveth the souls of His saints; He delivered 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, and gladness for the upright in heart.
Lux orta est iusto, et rectis corde laetitia.
12 Be glad in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks to His holy name.
Laetamini iusti in Domino: et confitemini memoriae sanctificationis eius.
