Psalmorum 97

1 Huic David, quando terra ejus restituta est. Dominus regnavit: exsultet terra; lætentur insulæ multæ.

Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.

2 Nubes et caligo in circuitu ejus; justitia et judicium correctio sedis ejus.

Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

3 Ignis ante ipsum præcedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos ejus.

Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.

4 Illuxerunt fulgura ejus orbi terræ; vidit, et commota est terra.

Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.

5 Montes sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini; a facie Domini omnis terra.

Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.

6 Annuntiaverunt cæli justitiam ejus, et viderunt omnes populi gloriam ejus.

The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.

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

Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

8 Audivit, et lætata est Sion, et exsultaverunt filiæ Judæ propter judicia tua, Domine.

Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.

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

For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.

10 Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum: custodit Dominus animas sanctorum suorum; de manu peccatoris liberabit eos.

Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.

11 Lux orta est justo, et rectis corde lætitia.

Light [is] sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart — joy.

12 Lætamini, justi, in Domino, et confitemini memoriæ sanctificationis ejus.

Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
