Psalmorum 96

1 Canticum ipsi David, Quando domus ædificabatur post captivitatem. Cantate Domino canticum novum: cantate Domino omnis terra.

A canticle for David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2 Cantate Domino, et benedicite nomini eius: annunciate de die in diem salutare eius.

Sing ye to the Lord and bless his name: shew forth his salvation from day to day.

3 Annunciate inter Gentes gloriam eius, in omnibus populis mirabilia eius.

Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.

4 Quoniam magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis: terribilis est super omnes deos.

For the Lord is great, and exceedingly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

5 Quoniam omnes dii Gentium dæmonia: Dominus autem cælos fecit.

For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.

6 Confessio, et pulchritudo in conspectu eius: sanctimonia, et magnificentia in sanctificatione eius.

Praise and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty in his sanctuary.

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

Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles, bring ye to the Lord glory and honour:

8 afferte Domino gloriam nomini eius. Tollite hostias, et introite in atria eius:

Bring to the Lord glory unto his name. Bring up sacrifices, and come into his courts:

9 adorate Dominum in atrio sancto eius. Commoveatur a facie eius universa terra:

Adore ye the Lord in his holy court. Let all the earth be moved at his presence.

10 dicite in Gentibus quia Dominus regnavit. Etenim correxit orbem terræ qui non commovebitur: iudicabit populos in æquitate.

Say ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned. For he hath corrected the world, which shall not be moved: he will judge the people with justice.

11 Lætentur cæli, et exultet terra, commoveatur mare, et plenitudo eius:

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad, let the sea be moved, and the fulness thereof:

12 gaudebunt campi, et omnia quæ in eis sunt. Tunc exultabunt omnia ligna silvarum

The fields and all things that are in them shall be joyful. Then shall all the trees of the woods rejoice

13 a facie Domini, quia venit: quoniam venit iudicare terram. Iudicabit orbem terræ in æquitate, et populos in veritate sua.

Before the face of the Lord, because he cometh: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with his truth.
