cantate|kænˈteɪtiː, kænˈtɑːteɪ| [a. L. cantate ‘sing ye’, the first word of the psalm.] The ninety-eighth psalm (ninety-seventh in the Vulgate) used as a canticle (e.g. as an alternative to the Magnificat at Evening Prayer in the Church of England). Cantate Sunday, the fourth Sunday after Easter, so called because the introit for that day is taken from this psalm.
