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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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