Psalm 97

Dominus regnavit
1
The Lord is King, the earth may be glad thereof  *
yea, the multitude of the isles may be glad thereof.
2
Clouds and darkness are round about him *
righteousness and judgement are the habitation of his seat.
3
There shall go a fire before him *
and burn up his enemies on every side.
4
His lightnings gave shine unto the world *
the earth saw it, and was afraid.
5
The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord *
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6
The heavens have declared his righteousness *
and all the people have seen his glory.
7
Confounded be all they that worship carved images, and that delight in vain gods *
worship him, all ye gods.
8
Sion heard of it, and rejoiced *
and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgements, O Lord.
9
For thou, Lord, art higher than all that are in the earth *
thou art exalted far above all gods.
10
O ye that love the Lord, see that ye hate the thing which is evil *
the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of the ungodly.
11
There is sprung up a light for the righteous *
and joyful gladness for such as are true-hearted.
12
Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous *
and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.

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.
