Psalm 99

All are invited to rejoice in God the creator of all.

Does this psalm differ from what you were expecting? Don't be confused. There are two systems for arranging the psalms: the Septuagint and the Masoretic. We use the Septuagint system here. In the Masoretic system, which is used in most modern Bible translations, this psalm is called Psalm 100, and the previous psalm is known as Psalm 99.

English (Douay-Rheims)

1 A psalm of praise.

2 Sing joyfully to God, all the earth: serve ye the Lord with gladness. Come in before his presence with exceeding great joy.
3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: he made us, and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Go ye into his gates with praise, into his courts with hymns: and give glory to him. Praise ye his name:
5 For the Lord is sweet, his mercy endureth for ever, and his truth to generation and generation.

Latin (Clementine Vulgate)

1 Psalmus in confessione.

2 Jubilate Deo, omnis terra;
servite Domino in lætitia.
Introite in conspectu ejus in exsultatione.
3 Scitote quoniam Dominus ipse est Deus;
ipse fecit nos, et non ipsi nos:
populus ejus, et oves pascuæ ejus.
4 Introite portas ejus in confessione;
atria ejus in hymnis:
confitemini illi.
Laudate nomen ejus,
5 quoniam suavis est Dominus,
in æternum misericordia ejus,
et usque in generationem et generationem veritas ejus.
