< Psalmorum 97 >
1 Huic David, Quando terra eius restituta est. Dominus regnavit, exultet terra: lætentur insulæ multæ.
Yhwh reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
2 Nubes, et caligo in circuitu eius: iustitia, et iudicium correctio sedis eius.
Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment 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 enemies round about.
4 Illuxerunt fulgura eius orbi terræ: vidit, et commota est terra.
His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 Montes, sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini: a facie Domini omnis terra.
The hills melted like wax at the presence of Yhwh, 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 people see his glory.
7 Confundantur omnes, qui adorant sculptilia: et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli eius:
Confounded be all they 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 Yhwh.
9 Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram: nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.
For thou, Yhwh, art 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.
Ye that love Yhwh, 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.
Rejoice in Yhwh, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
