This weekend's psalm

I decided I just couldn't bear that silly canon in the Gather, (heinous verses, too,) and I had been specifically charged not to program one to a psalm tone, because the day demands something more "festive." (At least SWMBO didn't ask for "uplifting.")
And someone else WMBO had been having trouble with the Chabanel psalms several times when I used them.
Anyway, I am not displeased with the solution I lit upon -- the first two phrases of LASST UNS ERFREUEN, "God mounts His throne to shouts of joy; (a) blare _ of trumpets for the Lord!" with chanted verses.
If it simply must be rhythmic, and in a major key, and "peppy".....
