in pace

brightman, sarah

diligite justitiam

o judices terrae

o judices terrae. justorum animae in manu dei sunt

et non tanget illos tormentum mortis. visi sunt oculis insapientium mori

et aestimata est afflictio existus illorum

illi autem sunt in pace. tyrannus impius non habet spem: et si quidem longae vitae erit

in nihilum computabitur. princeps autem justus

princeps autem justus

illi autem sunt in pace

in pace. cherish righteousness

oh judges of the earth

oh judges of the earth. the souls of the righteous are in the hands of god

and the torment of death will not touch them. in the sight of the unwise they seemed to die

and their departure is taken for misery

but they are at peace. the ungodly ruler has no hope

and even if he lives long

he shall be regarded as nothing. but the just prince

the just prince

he is at peace

at peace.
