Dominus regnavit. All are invited to rejoice at the glorious coming and reign of Christ.

[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. [2] Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne. [3] A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about. [4] His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled. [5] The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

[2] Clouds and darkness: The coming of Christ in the clouds with great terror and majesty to judge the world, is here prophesied.

[6] The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory. [7] Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels: [8] Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord. [9] For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods. [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.

[11] Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart. [12] Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.
