< Psalmorum 96 >
1 Canticum ipsi David, quando domus ædificabatur post captivitatem. Cantate Domino canticum novum; cantate Domino omnis terra.
Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Cantate Domino, et benedicite nomini ejus; annuntiate de die in diem salutare ejus.
Sing to the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation day after day.
3 Annuntiate inter gentes gloriam ejus; in omnibus populis mirabilia ejus.
Declare His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all peoples.
4 Quoniam magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis: terribilis est super omnes deos.
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
5 Quoniam omnes dii gentium dæmonia; Dominus autem cælos fecit.
For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens.
6 Confessio et pulchritudo in conspectu ejus; sanctimonia et magnificentia in sanctificatione ejus.
Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.
7 Afferte Domino, patriæ gentium, afferte Domino gloriam et honorem;
Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
8 afferte Domino gloriam nomini ejus. Tollite hostias, et introite in atria ejus;
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and enter His courts.
9 adorate Dominum in atrio sancto ejus. Commoveatur a facie ejus universa terra;
Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.
10 dicite in gentibus, quia Dominus regnavit. Etenim correxit orbem terræ, qui non commovebitur; judicabit populos in æquitate.
Declare among the nations: “The LORD reigns!” The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.
11 Lætentur cæli, et exsultet terra; commoveatur mare et plenitudo ejus;
Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it.
12 gaudebunt campi, et omnia quæ in eis sunt. Tunc exsultabunt omnia ligna silvarum
Let the fields exult, and all that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
13 a facie Domini, quia venit, quoniam venit judicare terram. Judicabit orbem terræ in æquitate, et populos in veritate sua.
before the LORD, for He is coming— He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.
