11  Laetentur caeli, et exsultet terra; commoveatur mare et plenitudo eius;
12  gaudebunt campi, et omnia quae in eis sunt.
Tunc exsultabunt omnia ligna silvarum
13  a facie Domini,
  quia venit, quoniam venit judicare terram.
Judicabit orbem terrae in aequitate, et populos in veritate sua.

11  Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad: let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is.
12  Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it:
then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
  before the Lord.
13  For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth:
and with righteousness to judge the world, and the people with his truth.
