Psalmorum 96

1 quando domus aedificabatur post captivitatem canticum huic David cantate Domino canticum novum cantate Domino omnis terra

Sing to the Lord a new song, sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2 cantate Domino benedicite nomini eius adnuntiate diem de die salutare eius

Sing to the Lord, bless his name, from day to day herald his victory.

3 adnuntiate inter gentes gloriam eius in omnibus populis mirabilia eius

Tell his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples.

4 quoniam magnus Dominus et laudabilis valde terribilis est super omnes deos

For great is the Lord and worthy all praise; held in awe, above all gods:

5 quoniam omnes dii gentium daemonia at vero Dominus caelos fecit

for all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord created the heavens.

6 confessio et pulchritudo in conspectu eius sanctimonia et magnificentia in sanctificatione eius

Before him are splendour and majesty, beauty and strength in his holy place.

7 adferte Domino patriae gentium adferte Domino gloriam et honorem

Ascribe to the Lord, you tribes of the nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

8 adferte Domino gloriam nomini eius tollite hostias et introite in atria eius

Ascribe to the Lord the glory he manifests: bring you an offering, enter his courts.

9 adorate Dominum in atrio sancto eius commoveatur a facie eius universa terra

Bow to the Lord in holy array: tremble before him, all the earth.

10 dicite in gentibus quia Dominus regnavit etenim correxit orbem qui non movebitur iudicabit populos in aequitate

Say to the nations, ‘The Lord is king.’ The world stands firm to be shaken no more. He will judge the peoples with equity.

11 laetentur caeli et exultet terra commoveatur mare et plenitudo eius

Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice, let the sea and its fulness thunder.

12 gaudebunt campi et omnia quae in eis sunt tunc exultabunt omnia ligna silvarum

Let the field, and all that is in it, exult; let the trees of the forest ring out their joy

13 a facie Domini quia venit quoniam venit iudicare terram iudicabit orbem terrae in aequitate et populos in veritate sua

before the Lord: for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice and the nations with faithfulness.
