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 is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

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

The Lord is great in Zion; he is high over all the nations.

3 Let them give praise to thy great name: for it is terrible and holy:

Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.

4 And the king’s honour loveth judgment. Thou hast prepared directions: thou hast done judgment and justice in Jacob.

The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.

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

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; holy is he.

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 among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them.

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

His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which 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.

You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.

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

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.
