Psalm 97

Vulgate

   1 Dominus regnavit! Exsultet terra, laetentur insulae multae.
   2 Nubes et caligo in circuitu eius, iustitia et iudicium firmamentum sedis eius.
   3 Ignis ante ipsum praecedet et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos eius.
   4 Illustrarunt fulgura eius orbem terrae: vidit et contremuit terra.
   5 Montes sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini, a facie Domini omnis terra.
   6 Annuntiaverunt caeli iustitiam eius, et viderunt omnes populi gloriam eius.
   7 Confundantur omnes, qui adorant sculptilia, et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum, omnes angeli eius.
   8 Audivit et laetata est Sion, et exsultaverunt filiae Iudae propter iudicia tua, Domine.
   9 Quoniam tu Dominus, Altissimus super omnem terram, nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.
   10 Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum; custodit ipse animas sanctorum suorum, de manu peccatoris liberabit eos.
   11 Lux orta est iusto, et rectis corde laetitia.
   12 Laetamini, iusti, in Domino et confitemini memoriae sanctitatis eius.

King James Version

   1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
   2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
   3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
   4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
   5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
   6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
   7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
   8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
   9 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
   10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
   11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
   12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
