< Psalmorum 97 >
1 Huic David, quando terra ejus restituta est. [Dominus regnavit: exsultet terra; lætentur insulæ multæ.
The LORD reigneth, let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of isles be glad!
2 Nubes et caligo in circuitu ejus; justitia et judicium correctio sedis ejus.
Clouds and darkness are round about him; Justice and equity are the foundation of his throne.
3 Ignis ante ipsum præcedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos ejus.
Before him goeth a fire, Which burneth up his enemies around.
4 Illuxerunt fulgura ejus orbi terræ; vidit, et commota est terra.
His lightnings illumine the world; The earth beholdeth and trembleth.
5 Montes sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini; a facie Domini omnis terra.
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Annuntiaverunt cæli justitiam ejus, et viderunt omnes populi gloriam ejus.
The heavens declare his righteousness, And all nations behold his glory.
7 Confundantur omnes qui adorant sculptilia, et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli ejus.
Confounded be they who worship graven images, Who glory in idols! To him, all ye gods, bow down!
8 Audivit, et lætata est Sion, et exsultaverunt filiæ Judæ propter judicia tua, Domine.
Zion hath heard, and is glad, And the daughters of Judah exult On account of thy judgments, O LORD!
9 Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram; nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.
For thou, O LORD! art most high above all the earth; Thou art far exalted above all gods!
10 Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum: custodit Dominus animas sanctorum suorum; de manu peccatoris liberabit eos.
Ye that love the LORD, hate evil! He preserveth the lives of his servants, And delivereth them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Lux orta est justo, et rectis corde lætitia.
Light is sown for the righteous, And joy for the upright in heart.
12 Lætamini, justi, in Domino, et confitemini memoriæ sanctificationis ejus.]
Rejoice, O ye righteous, in the LORD, And praise his holy name!
