Psalms 97
Cantate Domino. All are again invited to praise the Lord, for the victories of Christ.
A psalm for David himself. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle:
because he hath done wonderful things. His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, and his arm is holy.
2 The Lord hath made known his salvation:
he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.
3 He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Sing joyfully to God, all the earth;
make melody, rejoice and sing.
5 Sing praise to the Lord on the harp,
on the harp, and with the voice of a psalm:
6 With long trumpets, and sound of cornet. Make
a joyful noise before the Lord our king:
7 Let the sea be moved and the fullness thereof:
the world and they that dwell therein.
8 The rivers shall clap their hands,
the mountains shall rejoice together
9 At the presence of the Lord:
because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with equity.
