< Psalms 99 >
1 The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!
Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.
2 Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.
Jehovah in Zion [is] great, And high He [is] over all the peoples.
3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!
They praise Thy name, 'Great, and fearful, holy [it] is.'
4 The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.
And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou — Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou — Thou hast done.
5 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!
Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His footstool, holy [is] He.
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 among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.
7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.
In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.
8 O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.
O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.
9 Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For holy [is] Jehovah our God!
