Clementine Vulgate (Psalm 98)

Latin text

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer

English text

1 The Lord is King, be the people never so unpatient : he sitteth between the cherubims, be the earth never so unquiet.

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

3 They shall give thanks unto thy Name : which is great, wonderful, and holy.

4 The King's power loveth judgement; thou hast prepared equity: thou hast executed judgement and righteousness in Jacob.

5 O magnify the Lord our God : and fall down before his footstool, for he is holy.

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among such as call upon his Name : these called upon the Lord, and he heard them.

7 He spake unto them out of the cloudy pillar : for they kept his testimonies, and the law that he gave them.

8 Thou heardest them, O Lord our God : thou forgavest them, O God, and punishedst their own inventions.

9 O magnify the Lord our God, and worship him upon his holy hill : for the Lord our God is holy.
