Psalm 98 (99)

1 Psalmus ipsi David. Dominus regnavit : irascantur populi ; qui sedet super cherubim : moveatur terra.

1 A psalm for David himself. The Lord hath reigned, let the people be angry: he that sitteth on the cherubims: let the earth be moved.

2 Dominus in Sion magnus, et excelsus super omnes populos.

2 The Lord is great in Sion, and high above all people.

3 Confiteantur nomini tuo magno, quoniam terribile et sanctum est,

3 Let them give praise to thy great name: for it is terrible and holy:

4 et honor regis judicium diligit. Tu parasti directiones ; judicium et justitiam in Jacob tu fecisti.

4 And the king's honour loveth judgment. Thou hast prepared directions: thou hast done judgment and justice in Jacob.

5 Exaltate Dominum Deum nostrum, et adorate scabellum pedum ejus, quoniam sanctum est.

5 Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore his footstool, for it is holy.

6 Moyses et Aaron in sacerdotibus ejus, et Samuel inter eos qui invocant nomen ejus : invocabant Dominum, et ipse exaudiebat eos ;

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests: and Samuel among them that call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heard them:

7 in columna nubis loquebatur ad eos. Custodiebant testimonia ejus, et præceptum quod dedit illis.

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the commandment which he gave them.

8 Domine Deus noster, tu exaudiebas eos ; Deus, tu propitius fuisti eis, et ulciscens in omnes adinventiones eorum.

8 Thou didst hear them, O Lord our God: thou wast a merciful God to them, and taking vengeance on all their inventions.

9 Exaltate Dominum Deum nostrum, et adorate in monte sancto ejus, quoniam sanctus Dominus Deus noster.

9 Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore at his holy mountain: for the Lord our God is holy.
