Psalmorum 97

1 Huic David, Quando terra eius restituta est. Dominus regnavit, exultet terra: lætentur insulæ multæ.

The LORD 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 lighted up 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 the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 Annunciaverunt cæli iustitiam eius: et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius.

The heavens declared His righteousness, and all the peoples saw His glory.

7 Confundantur omnes, qui adorant sculptilia: et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli eius:

Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of things of nought; bow down to 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 LORD.

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

For Thou, LORD, 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 the LORD, hate evil; He preserveth the souls of His saints; He delivered 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 the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks to His holy name.
