< Psalms 97 >
1 Yahweh, hath become king, Let the earth exult, Let the multitude of coastlands rejoice.
Huic David, Quando terra eius restituta est. Dominus regnavit, exultet terra: lætentur insulæ multæ.
2 Clouds and thick darkness, are round about him, Righteousness and justice, are the establishing of his throne.
Nubes, et caligo in circuitu eius: iustitia, et iudicium correctio sedis eius.
3 Fire, before him, proceedeth, That it may consume, round about, his adversaries.
Ignis ante ipsum præcedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius.
4 His lightnings, have illumined, the world, The earth, hath seen, and hath trembled;
Illuxerunt fulgura eius orbi terræ: vidit, et commota est terra.
5 The mountains, like wax, have melted, At the presence of Yahweh, 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, have declared, his righteousness, —And all the peoples, have seen, his glory.
Annunciaverunt cæli iustitiam eius: et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius.
7 Let all who serve an image, be ashamed, They who boast themselves in things of nought, Bow down unto him, all ye gods.
Confundantur omnes, qui adorant sculptilia: et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli eius:
8 Zion, hath heard and rejoiced, And the daughters of Judah, have exulted, Because of thy righteous decisions, O Yahweh:
audivit, et lætata est Sion. Et exultaverunt filiæ Iudæ, propter iudicia tua Domine:
9 For, thou, Yahweh, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly hast thou exalted thyself above all gods.
Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram: nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.
10 Ye lovers of Yahweh! be haters of wrong, —He preserveth the lives of his men of lovingkindness, From the hand of the lawless, will he rescue them.
Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum: custodit Dominus animas sanctorum suorum, de manu peccatoris liberabit eos.
11 Light, is sown for the righteous one, And, for the upright in heart, rejoicing:
Lux orta est iusto, et rectis corde lætitia.
12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Yahweh, And give ye thanks, at the mention of his holiness.
Lætamini iusti in Domino: et confitemini memoriæ sanctificationis eius.
