Psalmorum 97
1 Psalmus David, Quando terra eius restituta est ei. Dominus regnavit, exultet terra: laetentur insulae multae.
YHWH reigns. Let the earth rejoice. Let the multitude of islands be glad.
2 Nubes, et caligo in circuitu eius: iustitia, et iudicium correctio sedis eius.
Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Ignis ante ipsum praecedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius.
A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.
4 Alluxerunt fulgura eius orbi terrae: vidit, et commota est terra.
His lightning lights up 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 YHWH, 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. All the peoples have seen his glory.
7 Confundantur omnes, qui adorant sculptilia: et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli eius:
Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods.
8 audivit, et laetata est Sion. Et exultaverunt filiae Iuda, propter iudicia tua Domine:
Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of your judgments, YHWH.
9 Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram: nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.
For you, YHWH, are most high above 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.
You who love YHWH, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his faithful ones. He delivers 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.
Be glad in YHWH, you righteous people. Give thanks to his holy Name.
