< Psalms 97 >

1 The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.
Huic David, Quando terra eius restituta est. Dominus regnavit, exultet terra: lætentur insulæ multæ.
2 Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.
Nubes, et caligo in circuitu eius: iustitia, et iudicium correctio sedis eius.
3 Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.
Ignis ante ipsum præcedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius.
4 His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.
Illuxerunt fulgura eius orbi terræ: vidit, et commota est terra.
5 The mountains became like wax at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the Lord of all the earth.
Montes, sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini: a facie Domini omnis terra.
6 The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw his glory.
Annunciaverunt cæli iustitiam eius: et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius.
7 Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.
Confundantur omnes, qui adorant sculptilia: et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli eius:
8 Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.
audivit, et lætata est Sion. Et exultaverunt filiæ Iudæ, propter iudicia tua Domine:
9 For you, Lord, are most high over the earth; you are lifted up over all other gods.
Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram: nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.
10 You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.
Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum: custodit Dominus animas sanctorum suorum, de manu peccatoris liberabit eos.
11 Light is shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.
Lux orta est iusto, et rectis corde lætitia.
12 Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.
Lætamini iusti in Domino: et confitemini memoriæ sanctificationis eius.
