Psalm 96
Let all who adore graven images be thrown into disorder

THE LORD HAS REIGNED/ let the earth rejoice:/ let many islands be glad./ Cloud and mist [are] round about him:/ justice and judgement/ [are] the improvement of his throne./ Fire shall/ go before him and shall set his enemies on fire round about./ His lightning shone out to the world:/ the earth saw and was agitated./ The mountains melted like wax before the face of the lord:/ before the face of the lord of all the earth./ The heavens declared his justice:/ and all the people have seen his glory./ Let all who adore graven images be thrown into disorder: and/ those who glory in their idols./ Adore him all you his angels:/ sion heard and was glad./ And the daughters of iuda rejoiced:/ because of your judgements lord./

Confundant[ur] o[mne]s qui adorant sculptilia
D[OMI]N[U]S REGNAVIT / exultet terra: / letent[ur] insul[a]e mult[a]e. / Nubes et caligo / in circuitu eius: / iustitia et iudiciu[m] / correctio sedis ei[us]. / Ignis ante ipsu[m] pr[a]e/cedet et inflamabit in circuitu inimicos ei[us]. / Alluxerunt fulgura ei[us] orbi terr[a]e: / vidit et co[m]mota est terra. / Montes sicut cera fluxerunt a facie d[omi]ni: / a facie d[omi]ni om[n]is terra. / Annuntiaver[un]t c[a]eli iusticiam eius: / et vider[un]t om[ne]s pop[u]li gl[ori]am eius. / Confundantur om[ne]s qui adorant sculptilia: et / qui gl[ori]antur in simulacris suis. / Adorate eu[m] om[ne]s ang[e]li ei[us]: / audivit et l[a]etata est sion. / Et exultaverunt fili[a]e iud[a]e: / propter iudicia tua d[omi]ne. /
