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 reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!

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

Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.

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

Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!

4 And the king's honour loves judgement; you have prepared equity, you have wrought judgement and justice in Jacob.

The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!

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

Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered.

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

He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

8 O Lord our God, you heard them; O God, you became propitious to them, though you did take vengeance on all their devices.

O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.

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

Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
