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 reigneth; let the peoples tremble; He is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake.

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

The LORD 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:

Let them praise Thy name as great and awful; Holy is He.

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

The strength also of the king who loveth justice — Thou hast established equity, Thou hast executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt ye the LORD our God, and prostrate yourselves at His footstool; 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 them that call upon His name, did call upon the LORD, 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.

O LORD our God, Thou didst answer them; a forgiving God wast Thou unto them, though Thou tookest vengeance of their misdeeds.

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

Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at His holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
