Fridays: From Psalm 98, Cantate Domino Sing a new song to the Lord, who has done marvellous things, all the ends of the earth have seen your victory, O God.Shout with joy to the Lord, all you lands; lift up your voice, rejoice and sing.Sing to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the voice of song.With trumpets and the sound of the horn shout with joy before our sovereign, the Lord.Let the sea make a noise and all that is in it, the lands and those who dwell therein.Let the rivers clap their hands, and let the hills ring out with joy before the Lord, who is coming to judge the earth.In righteousness shall God judge the world
