The Book of Psalms

  Psalm 96  

96:1 For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.
Huic David, quando terra ejus restituta est. Dominus regnavit: exsultet terra; lætentur insulæ multæ.

96:2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
Nubes et caligo in circuitu ejus; justitia et judicium correctio sedis ejus.

96:3 A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about.
Ignis ante ipsum præcedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos ejus.

96:4 His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled.
Illuxerunt fulgura ejus orbi terræ; vidit, et commota est terra.

96:5 The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord all the earth.
Montes sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini; a facie Domini omnis terra.

96:6 The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.
Annuntiaverunt cæli justitiam ejus, et viderunt omnes populi gloriam ejus.

96:7 Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:
Confundantur omnes qui adorant sculptilia, et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli ejus.

96:8 Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord.
Audivit, et lætata est Sion, et exsultaverunt filiæ Judæ propter judicia tua, Domine.

96:9 For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.
Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram; nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos.

96:10 You that love the Lord, hate evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner.
Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum: custodit Dominus animas sanctorum suorum; de manu peccatoris liberabit eos.

96:11 Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart.
Lux orta est justo, et rectis corde lætitia.

96:12 Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.
Lætamini, justi, in Domino, et confitemini memoriæ sanctificationis ejus.
