< Psalms 99 >
1 The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!
A Psalm of David. The Lord reigns; —let the people rage; [it is he] that sits upon the cherubs, let the earth be moved.
2 Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.
The Lord is great in Sion, and is high over all the people.
3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!
Let them give thanks to your great name; for it is terrible and holy.
4 The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.
And the king's honour loves judgement; you have prepared equity, you have wrought judgement and justice in Jacob.
5 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!
Exalt you the Lord our God, and worship [at] his footstool; for he is holy.
6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered.
Moses and Aaron amongst his priests, and Samuel amongst them that call upon his name; they called upon the Lord, and he heard them.
7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.
He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud; they kept his testimonies, and the ordinances which he gave them.
8 O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.
O Lord our God, you heard them; O God, you became propitious to them, though you did take vengeance on all their devices.
9 Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
Exalt you the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy.
