Psalmorum 97

1 huic David quando terra eius restituta est 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 adluxerunt fulgora 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 terrae

The mountains melt 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 nations behold his glory.

7 confundantur omnes qui adorant sculptilia 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 Iudaeae 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 superexaltatus 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 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!
