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.

YHWH reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

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

YHWH is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

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

Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

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

The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt ye YHWH our Elohim, and worship at his footstool; for 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 upon YHWH, 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 spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance 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.

Thou answeredst them, O YHWH our Elohim: thou wast an El that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

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

Exalt YHWH our Elohim, and worship at his holy hill; for YHWH our Elohim is holy.
