1The Lord reigns!
Let the earth rejoice!
Let the multitude of islands be glad!
2Clouds and darkness are around Him.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
3A fire goes before Him,
and burns up His adversaries on every side.
4His lightning lights up the world.
The earth sees, and trembles.
5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6The heavens declare His righteousness.
All the peoples have seen His glory.
7Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images,
who boast in their idols.
Worship Him, all you gods!
8Zion heard and was glad.
The daughters of Judah rejoiced
because of Your judgments, Lord.
9For You, Lord, are most high above all the earth.
You are exalted far above all gods.
10You who love the Lord, hate evil!
He preserves the souls of His saints.
He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11Light is sown for the righteous,
and gladness for the upright in heart.
12Be glad in the Lord, you righteous people!
Give thanks to His holy Name.
1Huic David, quando terra ejus restituta est. Dominus regnavit: exsultet terra; lætentur insulæ multæ. 2Nubes et caligo in circuitu ejus; justitia et judicium correctio sedis ejus. 3Ignis ante ipsum præcedet, et inflammabit in circuitu inimicos ejus. 4Illuxerunt fulgura ejus orbi terræ; vidit, et commota est terra. 5Montes sicut cera fluxerunt a facie Domini; a facie Domini omnis terra. 6Annuntiaverunt cæli justitiam ejus, et viderunt omnes populi gloriam ejus. 7Confundantur omnes qui adorant sculptilia, et qui gloriantur in simulacris suis. Adorate eum omnes angeli ejus. 8Audivit, et lætata est Sion, et exsultaverunt filiæ Judæ propter judicia tua, Domine. 9Quoniam tu Dominus altissimus super omnem terram; nimis exaltatus es super omnes deos. 10Qui diligitis Dominum, odite malum: custodit Dominus animas sanctorum suorum; de manu peccatoris liberabit eos. 11Lux orta est justo, et rectis corde lætitia. 12Lætamini, justi, in Domino, et confitemini memoriæ sanctificationis ejus.
