Psalm 29
Afferte Domino
1
Bring unto the Lord, O ye mighty, bring young rams unto the Lord *
ascribe unto the Lord worship and strength.
2
Give the Lord the honour due unto his Name *
worship the Lord with holy worship.
3
It is the Lord that commandeth the waters *
it is the glorious God that maketh the thunder.
4
It is the Lord that ruleth the sea; the voice of the Lord is mighty in operation *
the voice of the Lord is a glorious voice.
5
The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedar-trees *
yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Libanus.
6
He maketh them also to skip like a calf *
Libanus also, and Sirion, like a young unicorn.
7
The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire; the voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness *
yea, the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Cades.
8
The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to bring forth young, and discovereth the thick bushes *
in his temple doth every man speak of his honour.
9
The Lord sitteth above the water-flood *
and the Lord remaineth a King for ever.
10
The Lord shall give strength unto his people *
the Lord shall give his people the blessing of peace.
Psalm 98
Cantate Domino
1
O sing unto the Lord a new song *
for he hath done marvellous things.
2
With his own right hand, and with his holy arm *
hath he gotten himself the victory.
3
The Lord declared his salvation *
his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.
4
He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel *
and all the ends of the world have seen the salvation of our God.
5
Shew yourselves joyful unto the Lord, all ye lands *
sing, rejoice, and give thanks.
6
Praise the Lord upon the harp *
sing to the harp with a psalm of thanksgiving.
7
With trumpets also and shawms *
O shew yourselves joyful before the Lord the King.
8
Let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is *
the round world, and they that dwell therein.
9
Let the floods clap their hands, and let the hills be joyful together before the Lord *
for he is come to judge the earth.
10
With righteousness shall he judge the world *
and the people with equity.
