Psalms 97Douay-Rheims Challoner

Psalms 97:1-9

Haydock's commentary on this chapter

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

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 

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

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 

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

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 fullness thereof: the world and they that dwell therein.

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.
