< Psalmorum 97 >

1 huic David quando terra eius restituta est Dominus regnavit exultet terra laetentur insulae multae
The Lord reigneth: let the earth be glad; let the multitude of isles rejoice.
2 nubes et caligo in circuitu eius iustitia et iudicium correctio sedis eius
Clouds and thick darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the support of his throne.
3 ignis ante ipsum praecedet et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up round about his adversaries.
4 adluxerunt fulgora eius orbi terrae vidit et commota est terra
His lightnings give light to the world: the earth seeth it, and trembleth.
5 montes sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini; a facie Domini omnis terrae
The mountains melt away like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 adnuntiaverunt caeli iustitiam eius et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius
The heavens tell of his righteousness, and all the people his glory.
7 confundantur omnes qui adorant sculptilia qui gloriantur in simulacris suis adorate eum omnes angeli eius
Made ashamed shall be all that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: unto him bow down all the gods.
8 audivit et laetata est Sion et exultaverunt filiae Iudaeae propter iudicia tua Domine
Zion heareth it, and rejoiceth; and glad are the daughters of Judah, because of thy decrees, O Lord.
9 quoniam tu Dominus Altissimus super omnem terram nimis superexaltatus es super omnes deos
For thou, O Lord, art the most high above all the earth: thou art greatly exalted above all gods.
10 qui diligitis Dominum odite malum custodit animas sanctorum suorum de manu peccatoris liberabit eos
Ye that love the Lord, hate ye the evil: he preserveth the souls of his pious ones; out of the hand of the wicked he ever delivereth them.
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, ye righteous, in the Lord, and give thanks to his holy memorial.
