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 reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned amongst the cherubim. 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. He is high above all the peoples.

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

Let them praise your great and awesome name. He 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 loves justice. You establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt the LORD our God. Worship at his footstool. 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 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 the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies and the precept that he gave them.

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

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

9 Exalt the Lord our God, and adore on 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!
