I. French Text
After the death of Clément Marot in 1544 and a brief intervening period of no clear literary leadership, the task of completing the French metrical psalter was taken up by Théodore de Bèze, a skilled theologian and poet who would later succeed Jean Calvin as head of the church at Geneva. Marot had left behind 49 psalm paraphrases, meaning de Bèze was responsible for writing the other 101. One of the texts to appear in the final collected volume, Les Pseaumes mis en rime françois (Geneva, 1562), was this paraphrase of Psalm 98, “Chantez à Dieu nouveau cantique.” The paraphrase includes 4 stanzas of eight lines, with an alternating rhyme scheme of ababcdcd.
On the musical side, following the departure of Loys Bourgeois from Geneva in 1557, the composer known in Genevan records as Maitre Pierre produced some additional tunes, but in this case, the text for Psalm 98 was paired with one of the earlier tunes, written for Psalm 118. For the background of this tune and its earliest printings, see the article for “Rendez à Dieu.”
