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 peoples tremble. He sits enthroned amongst the cherubim. Let the earth be moved.

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

The LORD is great in Zion. He is high 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 King’s strength also loves justice. You establish equity. You execute 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. 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 amongst his priests, Samuel was amongst those who 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.

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

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

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. Worship at his holy hill, for the LORD, our God, is holy!
