Psalmorum 97
1 Psalmus David, Quando terra eius restituta est ei. Dominus regnavit, exultet terra: laetentur insulae multae.
The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.
2 Nubes, et caligo in circuitu eius: iustitia, et iudicium correctio sedis eius.
Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.
3 Ignis ante ipsum praecedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius.
Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.
4 Alluxerunt fulgura eius orbi terrae: vidit, et commota est terra.
His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.
5 Montes, sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini: a facie Domini omnis terra.
The mountains became like wax at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the Lord of all the earth.
6 Annunciaverunt caeli iustitiam eius: et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius.
The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw his glory.
7 Confundantur omnes, qui adorant sculptilia: et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli eius:
Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.
8 audivit, et laetata est Sion. Et exultaverunt filiae Iuda, propter iudicia tua Domine:
Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.
9 Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram: nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.
For you, Lord, are most high over the earth; you are lifted up over all other gods.
10 Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum: custodit Dominus animas sanctorum suorum, de manu peccatoris liberabit eos.
You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.
11 Lux orta est iusto, et rectis corde laetitia.
Light is shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.
12 Laetamini iusti in Domino: et confitemini memoriae sanctificationis eius.
Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.
