Psalms 99

1 A psalm for David himself. The Lord hath reigned, let the people be angry: he that sitteth on the cherubims: let the earth be moved.

The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!

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

Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.

3 Let them give praise to thy 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 loveth judgment. Thou hast prepared directions: thou hast done judgment and justice in Jacob.

The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests: and Samuel among them that call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heard them:

Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered.

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the commandment which he gave them.

He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

8 Thou didst hear them, O Lord our God: thou wast a merciful God to them, and taking vengeance on all their inventions.

O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.

9 Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore at his holy mountain: for the Lord our God is holy.

Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
