Psalm 98 (Cantate Domino)

O sing Jehova, he hath wonders wrought,
A song of praise that newnesse may commend:
His hand, his holy arme alone have brought
Conquest on all that durst with him contend.
He that salvation doth th' elect attend,
Long hid, at length hath sett in open view:
And now the unbeleeving nations taught
His heav'nly justice yelding each their due.

His bounty and his truth the motives were,
Promis'd of yore to Jacob and his race,
Which ev'ry margine of this earthy spheare
Now sees performed in his saving grace.
Then earth, and all possessing earthy place,
O sing, O shout, O triumph, O rejoyce:
Make lute a part with vocall musique beare,
And entertaine this king with trumpetts noise.

Rore, Sea, and all that trace the bryny sands:
Thou totall globe and all that thee enjoy:
You streamy rivers clapp your swymming hands:
You mountaines echo each at others joy,
See on the Lord this service you employ,
Who comes of Earth the crowne and rule to take;
And shall with upright justice judge the lands,
And equall lawes among the dwellers make.
