< Psalmorum 97 >
1 Huic David, Quando terra eius restituta est. Dominus regnavit, exultet terra: lætentur insulæ multæ.
Jehovah reigneth; let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad.
2 Nubes, et caligo in circuitu eius: iustitia, et iudicium correctio sedis eius.
Clouds and darkness are round about him: Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Ignis ante ipsum præcedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius.
A fire goeth before him, And burneth up his adversaries round about.
4 Illuxerunt fulgura eius orbi terræ: vidit, et commota est terra.
His lightnings lightened the world: The earth saw, and trembled.
5 Montes, sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini: a facie Domini omnis terra.
The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Annunciaverunt cæli iustitiam eius: et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius.
The heavens declare his righteousness, And all the peoples have seen his glory.
7 Confundantur omnes, qui adorant sculptilia: et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli eius:
Let all them be put to shame that serve graven images, That boast themselves of idols: Worship him, all ye gods.
8 audivit, et lætata est Sion. Et exultaverunt filiæ Iudæ, propter iudicia tua Domine:
Zion heard and was glad, And the daughters of Judah rejoiced, Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.
9 Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram: nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.
For thou, Jehovah, art most high above all the earth: Thou art exalted far above all gods.
10 Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum: custodit Dominus animas sanctorum suorum, de manu peccatoris liberabit eos.
O ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of his saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Lux orta est iusto, et rectis corde lætitia.
Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Lætamini iusti in Domino: et confitemini memoriæ sanctificationis eius.
Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous; And give thanks to his holy memorial [name].
