Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Douay-Rheims 1899
Psalms 98
1A psalm for David himself. The Lord hath reigned, let the people be angry: he that sitteth on the cherubims: let the earth be moved. 2The Lord is great in Sion, and high above all people. 3Let them give praise to thy great name: for it is terrible and holy: 4And the king’s honour loveth judgment. Thou hast prepared directions: thou hast done judgment and justice in Jacob. 5Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore his footstool, for it is holy. 6Moses and Aaron among his priests: and Samuel among them that call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heard them: 7He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the commandment which he gave them. 8Thou didst hear them, O Lord our God: thou wast a merciful God to them, and taking vengeance on all their inventions. 9Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore at his holy mountain: for the Lord our God is holy.
