< Psalmorum 97 >
1 huic David quando terra eius restituta est Dominus regnavit exultet terra laetentur insulae multae
The LORD reigns; 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 goes before him, and burns up his enemies round about.
4 adluxerunt fulgora eius orbi terrae vidit et commota est terra
His lightning enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 montes sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini; a facie Domini omnis terrae
The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 adnuntiaverunt 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 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 you gods.
8 audivit et laetata est Sion et exultaverunt filiae Iudaeae propter iudicia tua Domine
Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, O LORD.
9 quoniam tu Dominus Altissimus super omnem terram nimis superexaltatus es super omnes deos
For you, LORD, are high above all the earth: you are exalted far above all gods.
10 qui diligitis Dominum odite malum custodit animas sanctorum suorum de manu peccatoris liberabit eos
You that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserves the souls of his saints; 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
Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
