Psalms 97
1 The Lord reigneth: let the earth be glad; let the multitude of isles rejoice.
Huic David, quando terra ejus restituta est. Dominus regnavit: exsultet terra; lætentur insulæ multæ.
2 Clouds and thick darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the support of his throne.
Nubes et caligo in circuitu ejus; justitia et judicium correctio sedis ejus.
3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up round about his adversaries.
Ignis ante ipsum præcedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos ejus.
4 His lightnings give light to the world: the earth seeth it, and trembleth.
Illuxerunt fulgura ejus orbi terræ; vidit, et commota est terra.
5 The mountains melt away like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
Montes sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini; a facie Domini omnis terra.
6 The heavens tell of his righteousness, and all the people his glory.
Annuntiaverunt cæli justitiam ejus, et viderunt omnes populi gloriam ejus.
7 Made ashamed shall be all that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: unto him bow down all the gods.
Confundantur omnes qui adorant sculptilia, et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli ejus.
8 Zion heareth it, and rejoiceth; and glad are the daughters of Judah, because of thy decrees, O Lord.
Audivit, et lætata est Sion, et exsultaverunt filiæ Judæ propter judicia tua, Domine.
9 For thou, O Lord, art the most high above all the earth: thou art greatly exalted above all gods.
Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram; nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.
10 Ye that love the Lord, hate ye the evil: he preserveth the souls of his pious ones; out of the hand of the wicked he ever delivereth them.
Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum: custodit Dominus animas sanctorum suorum; de manu peccatoris liberabit eos.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
Lux orta est justo, et rectis corde lætitia.
12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord, and give thanks to his holy memorial.
Lætamini, justi, in Domino, et confitemini memoriæ sanctificationis ejus.
