< Psalmorum 97 >
1 Huic David, quando terra ejus restituta est. [Dominus regnavit: exsultet terra; lætentur insulæ multæ.
The LORD reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!
2 Nubes et caligo in circuitu ejus; justitia et judicium correctio sedis ejus.
Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Ignis ante ipsum præcedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos ejus.
A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.
4 Illuxerunt fulgura ejus orbi terræ; vidit, et commota est terra.
His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.
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. All the peoples have seen his glory.
7 Confundantur omnes qui adorant sculptilia, et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli ejus.
Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!
8 Audivit, et lætata est Sion, et exsultaverunt filiæ Judæ propter judicia tua, Domine.
Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, LORD.
9 Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram; nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.
For you, LORD, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
10 Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum: custodit Dominus animas sanctorum suorum; de manu peccatoris liberabit eos.
You who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his holy ones. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Lux orta est justo, et rectis corde lætitia.
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Lætamini, justi, in Domino, et confitemini memoriæ sanctificationis ejus.]
Be glad in the LORD, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.
