Psalm 24
Domini est terra
1
The earth is the Lord’s, and all that therein is *
the compass of the world, and they that dwell therein.
2
For he hath founded it upon the seas *
and prepared it upon the floods.
3
Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord *
or who shall rise up in his holy place?
4
Even he that hath clean hands, and a pure heart *
and that hath not lift up his mind unto vanity, nor sworn to deceive his neighbour.
5
He shall receive the blessing from the Lord *
and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6
This is the generation of them that seek him *
even of them that seek thy face, O Jacob.
7
Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors *
and the King of glory shall come in.
8
Who is the King of glory *
it is the Lord strong and mighty, even the Lord mighty in battle.
9
Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors *
and the King of glory shall come in.
10
Who is the King of glory *
even the Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.
Psalm 47
Omnes gentes, plaudite
1
O clap your hands together, all ye people *
O sing unto God with the voice of melody.
2
For the Lord is high, and to be feared *
he is the great King upon all the earth.
3
He shall subdue the people under us *
and the nations under our feet.
4
He shall choose out an heritage for us *
even the worship of Jacob, whom he loved.
5
God is gone up with a merry noise *
and the Lord with the sound of the trump.
6
O sing praises, sing praises unto our God *
O sing praises, sing praises unto our King.
7
For God is the King of all the earth *
sing ye praises with understanding.
8
God reigneth over the heathen *
God sitteth upon his holy seat.
9
The princes of the people are joined unto the people of the God of Abraham *
for God, which is very high exalted, doth defend the earth, as it were with a shield.
Psalm 108
Paratum cor meum
1
O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready *
I will sing and give praise with the best member that I have.
2
Awake, thou lute, and harp *
I myself will awake right early.
3
I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the people *
I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4
For thy mercy is greater than the heavens *
and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
5
Set up thyself, O God, above the heavens *
and thy glory above all the earth.
6
That thy beloved may be delivered *
let thy right hand save them, and hear thou me.
7
God hath spoken in his holiness *
I will rejoice therefore, and divide Sichem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8
Gilead is mine, and Manasses is mine *
Ephraim also is the strength of my head.
9
Judah is my law-giver, Moab is my wash-pot *
over Edom will I cast out my shoe, upon Philistia will I triumph.
10
Who will lead me into the strong city *
and who will bring me into Edom?
11
Hast not thou forsaken us, O God *
and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12
O help us against the enemy *
for vain is the help of man.
13
Through God we shall do great acts *
and it is he that shall tread down our enemies.
