Psalms 99

1 Jehovah reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits above the cherubim, let the earth be moved.

The Lord is king; let the nations tremble: he is throned upon cherubs; let earth quake.

2 Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.

The Lord is great in Zion, he is high over all the nations.

3 Let them praise thy great and awesome name. Holy is he.

Let them praise your great and terrible name. Holy is he.

4 The king's strength also loves justice. Thou establish equity. Thou execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

You are a king who loves justice, equity you have established: justice and right you have wrought for Jacob.

5 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. Holy is he.

Exalt the Lord our God, bow down at his footstool. Holy is he.

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon his name, they called upon Jehovah, and he answered them.

Among his priests were Moses and Aaron, Samuel among those who called on his name. They called to the Lord, and he gave them answer.

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 in the pillar of cloud, they kept his commands and the statute 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.

Lord our God, you gave them answer. A God of forgiveness were you to them, who suffered their deeds to go unpunished.

9 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at his holy hill. For Jehovah our God is holy.

Exalt the Lord our God; bow down at his holy mountain. For holy is the Lord our God.
