< Psalms 97 >

1 The Lord reigneth: let the earth be glad; let the multitude of isles rejoice.
huic David quando terra eius restituta est Dominus regnavit exultet terra laetentur insulae multae
2 Clouds and thick darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the support of his throne.
nubes et caligo in circuitu eius iustitia et iudicium correctio sedis eius
3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up round about his adversaries.
ignis ante ipsum praecedet et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius
4 His lightnings give light to the world: the earth seeth it, and trembleth.
adluxerunt fulgora eius orbi terrae 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 terrae
6 The heavens tell of his righteousness, and all the people his glory.
adnuntiaverunt caeli iustitiam eius et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius
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 qui gloriantur in simulacris suis adorate eum omnes angeli eius
8 Zion heareth it, and rejoiceth; and glad are the daughters of Judah, because of thy decrees, O Lord.
audivit et laetata est Sion et exultaverunt filiae Iudaeae propter iudicia 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 superexaltatus 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 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 iusto et rectis corde laetitia
12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord, and give thanks to his holy memorial.
laetamini iusti in Domino et confitemini memoriae sanctificationis eius
