Psalmus 97 (98)
Language: Latin 
1 [Psalmus ipsi David.] 
  Cantate Domino canticum novum, 
  quia mirabilia fecit.
  Salvavit sibi dextera ejus, 
  et brachium sanctum ejus.
2 Notum fecit Dominus salutare suum;
  in conspectu gentium revelavit justitiam suam.
3 Recordatus est misericordiæ suæ, 
  et veritatis suæ domui Israël.
  Viderunt omnes termini terræ salutare Dei nostri.
4 Jubilate Deo, omnis terra; 
  cantate, et exsultate, et psallite.
5 Psallite Domino in cithara; 
  in cithara et voce psalmi;
6 in tubis ductilibus, 
  et voce tubæ corneæ.
  Jubilate in conspectu regis Domini:
7 moveatur mare, et plenitudo ejus; 
  orbis terrarum, et qui habitant in eo.
8 Flumina plaudent manu; 
  simul montes exsultabunt
9 a conspectu Domini: 
  quoniam venit judicare terram.
  Judicabit orbem terrarum in justitia, 
  et populos in æquitate.

Partly used in Monteverdi's Cantate Domino.
