1 Psalmus David, Quando terra eius restituta est ei. Dominus regnavit, exultet terra: laetentur insulae multae.
The Lord reigneth: let the earth reioyce: let the multitude of the yles be glad.
2 Nubes, et caligo in circuitu eius: iustitia, et iudicium correctio sedis eius.

3 Ignis ante ipsum praecedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius.
There shall goe a fire before him, and burne vp his enemies round about.
4 Alluxerunt fulgura eius orbi terrae: vidit, et commota est terra.
His lightnings gaue light vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and was afraide.
5 Montes, sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini: a facie Domini omnis terra.
