< Psalms 99 >
1 Jehovah reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits above the cherubim, let the earth be moved.
The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!
2 Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.
Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.
3 Let them praise thy great and awesome name. Holy is he.
Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!
4 The king's strength also loves justice. Thou establish equity. Thou execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. Holy is he.
Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!
6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon his name, they called upon Jehovah, and he answered them.

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.
He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.
8 Thou answered them, O Jehovah our God. Thou were a God who forgave them, though thou took vengeance on their doings.
O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.
9 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at his holy hill. For Jehovah our God is holy.
Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
