Psalms 99

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord reigns; —let the people rage; [it is he] that sits upon the cherubs, let the earth be moved.

The Lord reigneth; people tremble: he sitteth enthroned over the cherubim; the earth is moved.

2 The Lord is great in Sion, and is high over all the people.

The Lord is great in Zion; and he is exalted above all the people.

3 Let them give thanks to thy great name; for it is terrible and holy.

They will give thanks to thy name, great, and terrible, [and] holy it is.

4 And the king's honour loves judgment; thou hast prepared equity, thou hast wrought judgment and justice in Jacob.

And to the power of the king who loveth justice and righteousness hast thou truly executed in Jacob.

5 Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship [at] his footstool; for he is holy.

Exalt ye the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his footstool: he is holy.—

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the Lord, and he heard them.

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

7 He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud; they kept his testimonies, and the ordinances which he gave them.

In the pillar of cloud he used to speak unto them: they kept his testimonies, and the statutes which he had given unto them.

8 O Lord our God, thou heardest them; O God, thou becamest propitious to them, though thou didst take vengeance on all their devices.

O Lord, our God, thou didst answer them: thou wast a forgiving God unto them, yet also an avenger for their wrong doings.

9 Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy.

Exalt the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his holy mount; for holy is the Lord our God.
