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.

Psalm 97 (98)
Language: English  after the Latin 
1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; 
  for he hath done marvellous things: 
  his right hand, and his holy arm,
  hath gotten him the victory.
2 The LORD hath made known his salvation: 
  his righteousness hath he openly shewed 
  in the sight of the heathen.
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 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: 
  make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
5 Sing unto the LORD with the harp; 
  with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.
6 With trumpets and sound of cornet 
  make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.
7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; 
  the world, and they that dwell therein.
8 Let the floods clap their hands: 
  let the hills be joyful together
9 Before the LORD;
  for he cometh to judge the earth: 
  with righteousness shall he judge the world, 
  and the people with equity.
