Psalms 99

1 The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

Jehovah reigns. Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim; the earth shakes.

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

Jehovah is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples.

3 Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.

Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy.

4 The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.

The King's strength also loves justice. You do establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; holy is he.

Exalt Jehovah our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy.

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them.

Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel among those who call on his name; they called on Jehovah, and he answered them.

7 His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which he gave them.

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.

8 You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.

You answered them, Jehovah our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

9 Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.

Exalt Jehovah, our God. Worship at his holy mountain, for Jehovah, our God, is holy.
