< Psalmorum 97 >
1 Huic David, Quando terra eius restituta est. Dominus regnavit, exultet terra: lætentur insulæ multæ.
The LORD reigns. Let the earth rejoice. Let the multitude of islands be glad.
2 Nubes, et caligo in circuitu eius: iustitia, et iudicium correctio sedis eius.
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 eius.
A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.
4 Illuxerunt fulgura eius 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 Annunciaverunt cæli iustitiam eius: et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius.
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 eius:
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 exultaverunt filiæ Iudæ, propter iudicia 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 faithful ones. He delivers 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, you righteous people. Give thanks to his holy Name.
