Psalms 99

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

Jehovah reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth [between 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,

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

4 having kingly power. You love justice; you make impartial decisions. You have made sure everything is done in fairness and according to what's right.

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

5 Give respect to the Lord our God! Bow down at his feet, for he is holy!

Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. He is holy!

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests; Samuel also prayed to him. They called out to the Lord for help, and he answered 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 the people from the pillar of cloud, and they kept the laws and decrees he gave them.

He spoke unto 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.

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

9 Honor the Lord our God, and worship 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.
