Psalms 99

1 Jehovah reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth [between the] cherubim: let the earth be moved.

The Lord reigneth; people tremble: he sitteth enthroned over the cherubim; the earth is moved.

2 Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.

The Lord is great in Zion; and he is exalted above all the people.

3 They shall praise thy great and terrible name, — it is holy! —

They will give thanks to thy name, great, and terrible, [and] holy it is.

4 And the strength of the king that loveth justice. Thou hast established equity: it is thou that executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

And to the power of the king who loveth justice and righteousness hast thou truly executed in Jacob.

5 Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. He is holy!

Exalt ye the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his footstool: he is holy.—

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name: they called unto Jehovah, and he answered them.

Moses and Aaron were among his priests, and Samuel among those that call on his name; they called on the Lord, and he answered them.

7 He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.

In the pillar of cloud he used to speak unto them: they kept his testimonies, and the statutes which he had given unto them.

8 Jehovah, our God, thou answeredst them: a forgiving God wast thou unto them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

O Lord, our God, thou didst answer them: thou wast a forgiving God unto them, yet also an avenger for their wrong doings.

9 Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at the hill of his holiness; for holy is Jehovah our God.

Exalt the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his holy mount; for holy is the Lord our God.
