Psalmorum 97

1 Psalmus David, Quando terra eius restituta est ei. Dominus regnavit, exultet terra: laetentur insulae multae.

The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.

2 Nubes, et caligo in circuitu eius: iustitia, et iudicium correctio sedis eius.

Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.

3 Ignis ante ipsum praecedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius.

Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.

4 Alluxerunt fulgura eius orbi terrae: vidit, et commota est terra.

His lightning illuminates 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, before the Lord of all the earth.

6 Annunciaverunt caeli iustitiam eius: et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius.

The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.

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

All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!

8 audivit, et laetata est Sion. Et exultaverunt filiae Iuda, propter iudicia tua Domine:

Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.

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

For You, O LORD, are Most High over 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.

Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11 Lux orta est iusto, et rectis corde laetitia.

Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.

12 Laetamini iusti in Domino: et confitemini memoriae sanctificationis eius.

Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.
