Psalms 97

1 Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.

Huic David, quando terra ejus restituta est. Dominus regnavit: exsultet terra; lætentur insulæ multæ.

2 Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

Nubes et caligo in circuitu ejus; justitia et judicium correctio sedis ejus.

3 Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.

Ignis ante ipsum præcedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos ejus.

4 Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.

Illuxerunt fulgura ejus orbi terræ; vidit, et commota est terra.

5 Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.

Montes sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini; a facie Domini omnis terra.

6 The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.

Annuntiaverunt cæli justitiam ejus, et viderunt omnes populi gloriam ejus.

7 Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

Confundantur omnes qui adorant sculptilia, et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli ejus.

8 Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.

Audivit, et lætata est Sion, et exsultaverunt filiæ Judæ propter judicia tua, Domine.

9 For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.

Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram; nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.

10 Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he 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 for the upright of heart — joy.

Lux orta est justo, et rectis corde lætitia.

12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!

Lætamini, justi, in Domino, et confitemini memoriæ sanctificationis ejus.
