Psalm 97

All are again invited to praise the Lord, for the victories of Christ.

1. 1

   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. 2

   The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.

3. 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. 4

   Sing joyfully to God, all the earth: make melody, rejoice and sing.

5. 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 fulness thereof: the world and them that dwell therein.

6. 6

   With long trumpets, and sound of cornet.

7. 7

   let the sea be moved and the fulness thereof: the world and they that dwell therein.

8. 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.

9. 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.
