< 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: lætentur insulæ multæ.
2 Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment 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 præcedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius.
4 His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled.
Illuxerunt fulgura eius orbi terræ: 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 have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.
Annunciaverunt cæli 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: et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli eius:
8 Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of your judgments, O Lord.
audivit, et lætata est Sion. Et exultaverunt filiæ Iudæ, 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 exaltatus 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 Dominus 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 lætitia.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
Lætamini iusti in Domino: et confitemini memoriæ sanctificationis eius.
