< 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!
2 Nubes, et caligo in circuitu eius: iustitia, et iudicium correctio sedis eius.
Clouds and darkness are round about him; Justice and equity are the foundation of his throne.
3 Ignis ante ipsum praecedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius.
Before him goeth a fire, Which burneth up his enemies around.
4 Alluxerunt fulgura eius orbi terrae: vidit, et commota est terra.
His lightnings illumine the world; The earth beholdeth and trembleth.
5 Montes, sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini: a facie Domini omnis terra.
The mountains melt 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 nations behold his glory.
7 Confundantur omnes, qui adorant sculptilia: et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli eius:
Confounded be they who worship graven images, Who glory in idols! To him, all ye gods, bow down!
8 audivit, et laetata est Sion. Et exultaverunt filiae Iuda, propter iudicia tua Domine:
Zion hath heard, and is glad, And the daughters of Judah exult On account of thy judgments, O LORD!
9 Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram: nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.
For thou, O LORD! art most high above all the earth; Thou art far exalted 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 lives of his servants, And delivereth them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Lux orta est iusto, et rectis corde laetitia.
Light is sown for the righteous, And joy for the upright in heart.
12 Laetamini iusti in Domino: et confitemini memoriae sanctificationis eius.
Rejoice, O ye righteous, in the LORD, And praise his holy name!
