< Psalmorum 97 >
1 Psalmus David, Quando terra eius restituta est ei. Dominus regnavit, exultet terra: laetentur insulae multae.
The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad [thereof].
2 Nubes, et caligo in circuitu eius: iustitia, et iudicium correctio sedis eius.
Clouds and darkness [are] round about him: righteousness and judgment [are] the habitation of his throne.
3 Ignis ante ipsum praecedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
4 Alluxerunt fulgura eius orbi terrae: vidit, et commota est terra.
His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 Montes, sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini: a facie Domini omnis terra.
The hills 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 declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
7 Confundantur omnes, qui adorant sculptilia: et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli eius:
Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all [ye] gods.
8 audivit, et laetata est Sion. Et exultaverunt filiae Iuda, propter iudicia tua Domine:
Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
9 Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram: nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.
For thou, LORD, [art] high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
10 Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum: custodit Dominus animas sanctorum suorum, de manu peccatoris liberabit eos.
Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Lux orta est iusto, et rectis corde laetitia.
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Laetamini iusti in Domino: et confitemini memoriae sanctificationis eius.
Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
