Psalmorum 96

1 Canticum ipsi David, quando domus ædificabatur post captivitatem. [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, et benedicite nomini ejus; annuntiate de die in diem salutare ejus.

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

3 Annuntiate inter gentes gloriam ejus; in omnibus populis mirabilia ejus.

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

4 Quoniam magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis: 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 dæmonia; Dominus autem cælos fecit.

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

6 Confessio et pulchritudo in conspectu ejus; sanctimonia et magnificentia in sanctificatione ejus.

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

7 Afferte Domino, patriæ gentium, afferte Domino gloriam et honorem;

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

8 afferte Domino gloriam nomini ejus. Tollite hostias, et introite in atria ejus;

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

9 adorate Dominum in atrio sancto ejus. Commoveatur a facie ejus 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 terræ, qui non commovebitur; judicabit populos in æquitate.

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 Lætentur cæli, et exsultet terra; commoveatur mare et plenitudo ejus;

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

12 gaudebunt campi, et omnia quæ in eis sunt. Tunc exsultabunt 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 judicare terram. Judicabit orbem terræ in æquitate, 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.
