Psalms 98 Comparison: Douay-Rheims vs King James Version
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.
Psalms 98
1O 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.
2The Lord hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.
3He 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.
4Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
5Sing unto the Lord with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.
6With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King.
7Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
8Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together
9Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
