Psalmorum 97
1 Huic David, Quando terra eius restituta est. Dominus regnavit, exultet terra: lætentur insulæ multæ.
The Lord reigneth: let the earth be glad; let the multitude of isles rejoice.
2 Nubes, et caligo in circuitu eius: iustitia, et iudicium correctio sedis eius.
Clouds and thick darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the support of his throne.
3 Ignis ante ipsum præcedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up round about his adversaries.
4 Illuxerunt fulgura eius orbi terræ: vidit, et commota est terra.
His lightnings give light to the world: the earth seeth it, and trembleth.
5 Montes, sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini: a facie Domini omnis terra.
The mountains melt away like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 Annunciaverunt cæli iustitiam eius: et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius.
The heavens tell of his righteousness, and all the people his glory.
7 Confundantur omnes, qui adorant sculptilia: et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli eius:
Made ashamed shall be all that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: unto him bow down all the gods.
8 audivit, et lætata est Sion. Et exultaverunt filiæ Iudæ, propter iudicia tua Domine:
Zion heareth it, and rejoiceth; and glad are the daughters of Judah, because of thy decrees, O Lord.
9 Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram: nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.
For thou, O Lord, art the most high above all the earth: thou art greatly 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 ye the evil: he preserveth the souls of his pious ones; out of the hand of the wicked he ever delivereth them.
11 Lux orta est iusto, et rectis corde lætitia.
Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Lætamini iusti in Domino: et confitemini memoriæ sanctificationis eius.
Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord, and give thanks to his holy memorial.
