5 Shew yourselves joyful unto the Lord, all ye lands: sing, rejoice, and give thanks.

6 Praise the Lord upon the harp : sing to the harp with a psalm of thanksgiving.

7 With trumpets also, and shawms: O shew yourselves joyful before the Lord the King.

8 Let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is : the round world, and they that dwell therein.

9 Let the floods clap their hands, and let the hills be joyful together before the Lord : for he is come to judge the earth.

10 With righteousness shall he judge the world : and the people with equity.

PSALM XCIX. Dominus regnavit.

I The Lord is King, be the people never so impatient he sitteth between the cherubins, be the earth never so unquiet.

2 The Lord is great in Sion: and high above all people.

3 They shall give thanks unto thy Name: which is great, wonderful, and holy.

4 The king's power loveth judgement; thou hast prepared equity: thou hast executed judgement and righteousness in Jacob.

5 O magnify the Lord our God and fall down before his footstool, for he is holy.

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among such as call upon his Name : these called upon the Lord, and he heard them.

4 Shout unto Jehovah, all the earth;

break forth and ring out your joy, and make
melody.

5 Make melody unto Jehovah with the harp;
with the harp, and the voice of melody.
6 With trumpets and sound of the horn
shout ye before the King, Jehovah.

7 Let the sea thunder, and the fulness thereof;
the world, and they that dwell therein :

8 Let the streams clap their hands;

let the mountains together ring out their joy : 9 Before Jehovah, for he is come to judge the earth; he will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

PSALM XCIX.

I Jehovah reigneth; let the peoples tremble: he sitteth upon the cherubim; let the earth quiver.

2 Jehovah is great in Zion;

and he is high above all the peoples.

3 Let them give thanks unto thy name, (which is) great and terrible :

he is holy.

4 And the King's strength loveth judgement; thou hast established equity,

thou hast executed judgement and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Exalt ye Jehovah our God,

and worship towards his footstool:

he is holy.

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests,

and Samuel among them that call upon his name,

did call unto Jehovah, and he answered them.

U

7 He spake unto them out of the cloudy pillar : for they kept his testimonies, and the law that he gave them.

8 Thou heardest them, O Lord our God: thou forgavest them, O God, and punishedst their own inventions.

9 O magnify the Lord our God, and worship him upon his holy hill: for the Lord our God is holy.

PSALM C. Jubilate Deo.

1 O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands: serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song.

2 Be ye sure that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

3 O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and speak good of his Name.

4 For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting : and his truth endureth from generation to generation.

PSALM CI. Misericordiam et judicium.

I My song shall be of mercy and judgement: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.

2 O let me have understanding in the way of godliness.

3 When wilt thou come unto me: I will walk in my house with a perfect heart.

1 Cf. Ps. lxvi. 1, xcviii. 4.

2 So Heb. marg., Aq., Jer., Targ. ; and not we ourselves, Heb. text, Sept., Syr., Vulg. (Symm. also read not).

7 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar : they kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.

8 Jehovah our God, thou didst answer them; a forgiving God wast thou unto them,

but one that took vengeance on their doings.

9 Exalt ye Jehovah our God,

and worship towards his holy hill;

for Jehovah our God is holy.

PSALM C.

I Shout unto Jehovah, all the earth'. 2 Serve Jehovah with gladness;

come before his presence with a ringing cry.

3 Know ye that Jehovah he is God:

2

it is he that hath made us, and we are his 2; (we are) his people, and the flock of his pasture 3. 4 O enter into his gates with thanksgiving*, (and) into his courts with praise :

give thanks unto him, bless his name.

5 For Jehovah is good, his kindness (endureth) for

ever,

and his faithfulness unto all generations.

PSALM CI.

I Of kindness and judgement will I sing : unto thee, Jehovah, will I make melody.

2 I will deal wisely in 5 a perfect way; O when wilt thou come unto me ?

I will walk within my house in the perfectness of my heart.

3 Or, of his shepherding.

* Or, with a thank-offering.

5 Or, give heed unto.

4 I will take no wicked thing in hand; I hate the sins of unfaithfulness: there shall no such cleave unto me.

5 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

6 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour : him will I destroy.

7 Whoso hath also a proud look and high stomach: I will not suffer him.

8 Mine eyes look upon such as are faithful in the land that they may dwell with me.

:

9 Whoso leadeth a godly life he shall be my

servant.

10 There shall no deceitful person dwell in my house he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

:

II I shall soon destroy all the ungodly that are in the land that I may root out all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.

:

MORNING PRAYER.

PSALM CII. Domine, exaudi.

I Hear my prayer, O Lord: and let my crying come unto thee.

2 Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trouble: incline thine ear unto me when I call; O hear me, and that right soon.

3 For my days are consumed away like smoke : and my bones are burnt up as it were a fire-brand.

1 Viz. from the standard of right, or, perhaps, of faith; cf. Ps. xl. 4 ('fall away'). The exact meaning of the Hebrew is
