Psalms 99

1 A Psalm of David himself. The Lord has reigned: let the peoples be angry. He sits upon the cherubim: let the earth be moved.

The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth [between] the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

2 The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high above all peoples.

The LORD [is] great in Zion; and he [is] high above all the people.

3 May they confess to your great name, for it is terrible and holy.

Let them praise thy great and terrible name; [for] it [is] holy.

4 And the honor of the king loves judgment. You have prepared guidance. You have accomplished judgment and justice in Jacob.

The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Exalt the Lord our God, and adore the footstool of his feet, for it is holy.

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

6 Moses and Aaron are among his priests, and Samuel is among those who call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heeded them.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies and the precept that he gave them.

He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance [that] he gave them.

8 You heeded them, O Lord our God. You were a forgiving God to them, though taking vengeance on all their inventions.

Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

9 Exalt the Lord our God, and adore on his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy.

Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God [is] holy.
