Psalms 98 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
Psalms 98
1A Psalm of David himself. The Lord has reigned: let the peoples be angry. He sits upon the cherubim: let the earth be moved.
2The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high above all peoples.
3May they confess to your great name, for it is terrible and holy.
4And the honor of the king loves judgment. You have prepared guidance. You have accomplished judgment and justice in Jacob.
5Exalt the Lord our God, and adore the footstool of his feet, for it is holy.
6Moses and Aaron are among his priests, and Samuel is among those who call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heeded them.
7He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies and the precept that he gave them.
8You heeded them, O Lord our God. You were a forgiving God to them, though taking vengeance on all their inventions.
9Exalt the Lord our God, and adore on his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy.
