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.

Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.

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

Jehovah in Zion [is] great, And high He [is] over all the peoples.

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

They praise Thy name, 'Great, and fearful, holy [it] is.'

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

And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou — Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou — Thou hast done.

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

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His footstool, holy [is] He.

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 those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

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

In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.

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

O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

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

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For holy [is] Jehovah our God!
