Psalms 99

1 The Lord reigns; let the nations tremble! He sits on his throne above the cherubim; let the earth shake!

Jehovah reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits above the cherubim, let the earth be moved.

2 The Lord rules supreme in Zion, he is sovereign over all the nations.

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

3 Let them praise his greatness, and respect him for who he is—for he is holy,

Let them praise thy great and awesome name. Holy is he.

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. Holy is he.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon his name, they called upon Jehovah, and he answered them.

7 He spoke to the people from the pillar of cloud, and they kept the laws and decrees he gave them.

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.

8 Lord our God, you answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, but you punished them when they did wrong.

Thou answered them, O Jehovah our God. Thou were a God who forgave them, though thou took vengeance on their doings.

9 Honor the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy!

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at his holy hill. For Jehovah our God is holy.
