World English Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1The LORD reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!
1Psalmus ipsi David. [Cantate Domino canticum novum, quia mirabilia fecit. Salvavit sibi dextera ejus, et brachium sanctum ejus.
2Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
2Notum fecit Dominus salutare suum; in conspectu gentium revelavit justitiam suam.
3A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.
3Recordatus est misericordiæ suæ, et veritatis suæ domui Israël. Viderunt omnes termini terræ salutare Dei nostri.
4His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.
4Jubilate Deo, omnis terra; cantate, et exsultate, et psallite.
5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
5Psallite Domino in cithara; in cithara et voce psalmi;
6The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.
6in tubis ductilibus, et voce tubæ corneæ. Jubilate in conspectu regis Domini:
7Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!
7moveatur mare, et plenitudo ejus; orbis terrarum, et qui habitant in eo.
8Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, LORD.
8Flumina plaudent manu; simul montes exsultabunt
9For you, LORD, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
9a conspectu Domini: quoniam venit judicare terram. Judicabit orbem terrarum in justitia, et populos in æquitate.]
10You who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
