Psalmorum 97

1 Psalmus David, Quando terra eius restituta est ei. Dominus regnavit, exultet terra: laetentur insulae multae.

Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.

2 Nubes, et caligo in circuitu eius: iustitia, et iudicium correctio sedis eius.

Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

3 Ignis ante ipsum praecedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius.

Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.

4 Alluxerunt fulgura eius orbi terrae: vidit, et commota est terra.

Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.

5 Montes, sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini: a facie Domini omnis terra.

Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.

6 Annunciaverunt caeli iustitiam eius: et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius.

The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.

7 Confundantur omnes, qui adorant sculptilia: et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli eius:

Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

8 audivit, et laetata est Sion. Et exultaverunt filiae Iuda, propter iudicia tua Domine:

Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.

9 Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram: nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.

For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.

10 Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum: custodit Dominus animas sanctorum suorum, de manu peccatoris liberabit eos.

Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.

11 Lux orta est iusto, et rectis corde laetitia.

Light [is] sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart — joy.

12 Laetamini iusti in Domino: et confitemini memoriae sanctificationis eius.

Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
