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 99

Dominus regnavit
1
The Lord is King, be the people never so unpatient  *
he sitteth between the cherubims, be the earth never so unquiet.
2
The Lord is great in Sion *
and high above all people.
3
They shall give thanks unto thy Name *
which is great, wonderful, and holy.
4
The King’s power loveth judgement; thou hast prepared equity *
thou hast executed judgement and righteousness in Jacob.
5
O magnify the Lord our God *
and fall down before his footstool, for he is holy.
6
Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among such as call upon his Name *
these called upon the Lord, and he heard them.
7
He spake unto them out of the cloudy pillar *
for they kept his testimonies, and the law that he gave them.
8
Thou heardest them, O Lord our God *
thou forgavest them, O God, and punishedst their own inventions.
9
O magnify the Lord our God, and worship him upon his holy hill *
for the Lord our God is holy.
