< Psalmorum 96 >
1 Canticum ipsi David, quando domus ædificabatur post captivitatem. [Cantate Domino canticum novum; cantate Domino omnis terra.
Oh sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the lands.
2 Cantate Domino, et benedicite nomini ejus; annuntiate de die in diem salutare ejus.
Sing unto the Lord, bless his name: announce from day to day his salvation.
3 Annuntiate inter gentes gloriam ejus; in omnibus populis mirabilia ejus.
Relate among the nations his honor, among all the people his wonders.
4 Quoniam magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis: terribilis est super omnes deos.
For the Lord is great, and greatly praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5 Quoniam omnes dii gentium dæmonia; Dominus autem cælos fecit.
For all the gods of the nations are idols; but the Lord hath made the heavens.
6 Confessio et pulchritudo in conspectu ejus; sanctimonia et magnificentia in sanctificatione ejus.
Glory and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Afferte Domino, patriæ gentium, afferte Domino gloriam et honorem;
Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye families of the people, ascribe unto the Lord honor and strength.
8 afferte Domino gloriam nomini ejus. Tollite hostias, et introite in atria ejus;
Ascribe unto the Lord the honor [due unto] his name: bear hither a present, and come unto his courts.
9 adorate Dominum in atrio sancto ejus. Commoveatur a facie ejus universa terra;
Bow down unto the Lord in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all ye lands.
10 dicite in gentibus, quia Dominus regnavit. Etenim correxit orbem terræ, qui non commovebitur; judicabit populos in æquitate.
Say among the nations, “The Lord reigneth;” [therefore] also the world is ever firmly established that it shall hot be moved: he will judge the people in equity.
11 Lætentur cæli, et exsultet terra; commoveatur mare et plenitudo ejus;
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad: let the sea roar, with all that filleth it.
12 gaudebunt campi, et omnia quæ in eis sunt. Tunc exsultabunt omnia ligna silvarum
Let the field exult, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,
13 a facie Domini, quia venit, quoniam venit judicare terram. Judicabit orbem terræ in æquitate, et populos in veritate sua.]
Before the Lord; for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and people in his truth.
