Psalmorum 96
1 Canticum David, Quando domus aedificabatur post captivitatem. Cantate Domino canticum novum: cantate Domino omnis terra.
Sing to the Lord a new song! All the earth, sing to the Lord!
2 Cantate Domino, et benedicite nomini eius: annunciate de die in diem salutare eius.
Sing to the Lord, and of his wonderful reputation! Each day let everyone know of his salvation!
3 Annunciate inter Gentes gloriam eius, in omnibus populis mirabilia eius.
Declare his glorious acts among the nations, the amazing things he does among all peoples.
4 Quoniam magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis: terribilis est super omnes deos.
For the Lord is great, and deserves the best praise! He is to be respected with awe above all gods.
5 Quoniam omnes dii Gentium daemonia: Dominus autem caelos fecit.
For all the gods of other nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens!
6 Confessio, et pulchritudo in conspectu eius: sanctimonia, et magnificentia in sanctificatione eius.
Splendor and majesty are his; power and glory are in his sanctuary.
7 Afferte Domino patriae gentium, afferte Domino gloriam et honorem:
Give the Lord acclamation, nations of the world, acclaim him with glory and strength.
8 afferte Domino gloriam nomini eius. Tollite hostias, et introite in atria eius:
Give the Lord the glory he deserves; bring an offering and come into his courts.
9 adorate Dominum in atrio sancto eius. Commoveatur a facie eius universa terra:
Worship the Lord in his magnificent holiness; let all the earth tremble in his presence.
10 dicite in Gentibus quia Dominus regnavit. Etenim correxit orbem terrae qui non commovebitur: iudicabit populos in aequitate.
Tell the nations, “The Lord is in charge!” The world is held together firmly—it cannot be broken apart. He will judge everyone fairly.
11 Laetentur caeli, et exultet terra, commoveatur mare, et plenitudo eius:
Let the heavens sing for joy, let the earth be happy, let the sea and everything in it shout with praise!
12 gaudebunt campi, et omnia quae in eis sunt. Tunc exultabunt omnia ligna silvarum
Let the fields and everything there celebrate; let all the trees in the forest sing for joy.
13 a facie Domini, quia venit: quoniam venit iudicare terram. Iudicabit orbem terrae in aequitate, et populos in veritate sua.
In fact, let everything that stands before the Lord sing praises, for he is coming, coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with fairness, and the nations with his truth.
