Psalmus 95 (96)
Language: Latin 
1  [Canticum ipsi David, quando domus ædificabatur post captivitatem.]
   Cantate Domino canticum novum; cantate Domino omnis terra.
2  Cantate Domino, et benedicite nomini ejus;
   annuntiate de die in diem salutare ejus.
3  Annuntiate inter gentes gloriam ejus;
   in omnibus populis mirabilia ejus.
4  Quoniam magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis:
   terribilis est super omnes deos.
5  Quoniam omnes dii gentium dæmonia;
   Dominus autem cælos fecit.
6  Confessio et pulchritudo in conspectu ejus;
   sanctimonia et magnificentia in sanctificatione ejus.
7  Afferte Domino, patriæ gentium,
   afferte Domino gloriam et honorem;
8  afferte Domino gloriam nomini ejus.
   Tollite hostias, et introite in atria ejus;
9  adorate Dominum in atrio sancto ejus.
   Commoveatur a facie ejus universa terra;
10 dicite in gentibus, quia Dominus regnavit.
   Etenim correxit orbem terræ, qui non commovebitur;
   judicabit populos in æquitate.
11 Lætentur cæli, et exsultet terra;
   commoveatur mare et plenitudo ejus;
12 gaudebunt campi, et omnia quæ in eis sunt.
   Tunc exsultabunt omnia ligna silvarum
13 a facie Domini, quia venit,
   quoniam venit judicare terram.
   Judicabit orbem terræ in æquitate,
   et populos in veritate sua.
