< Psalmorum 97 >
1 Psalmus David, Quando terra eius restituta est ei. Dominus regnavit, exultet terra: laetentur insulae multae.
For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.
2 Nubes, et caligo in circuitu eius: iustitia, et iudicium correctio sedis eius.
Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgement are the establishment of his throne.
3 Ignis ante ipsum praecedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius.
Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.
4 Alluxerunt fulgura eius orbi terrae: vidit, et commota est terra.
His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled.
5 Montes, sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini: a facie Domini omnis terra.
The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Annunciaverunt caeli iustitiam eius: et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius.
The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.
7 Confundantur omnes, qui adorant sculptilia: et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli eius:
Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all you his angels.
8 audivit, et laetata est Sion. Et exultaverunt filiae Iuda, propter iudicia tua Domine:
Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of your judgements, O Lord.
9 Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram: nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.
For you are Lord most high over all the earth; you are greatly exalted above all gods.
10 Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum: custodit Dominus animas sanctorum suorum, de manu peccatoris liberabit eos.
You that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.
11 Lux orta est iusto, et rectis corde laetitia.
Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Laetamini iusti in Domino: et confitemini memoriae sanctificationis eius.
Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
