Psalms 99

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

The Lord hath regned, puplis ben wrooth; thou that sittist on cherubyn, the erthe be moued.

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

The Lord is greet in Sion; and hiy aboue alle puplis.

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

Knouleche thei to thi greet name, for it is ferdful and hooli;

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 onour of the king loueth doom. Thou hast maad redi dressyngis; thou hast maad doom and riytfulnesse in Jacob.

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

Enhaunse ye oure Lord God; and worschipe ye the stool of hise feet, for it is hooli.

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.

Moises and Aaron weren among hise preestis; and Samuel was among hem that inwardli clepen his name. Thei inwardli clepiden the Lord, and he herde hem;

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

in a piler of cloude he spak to hem. Thei kepten hise witnessyngis; and the comaundement which he yaf to hem.

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

Oure Lord God, thou herdist hem; God, thou were merciful to hem, and thou tokist veniaunce on al her fyndyngis.

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

Enhaunse ye oure Lord God, and worschipe ye in his hooli hil; for oure Lord God is hooli.
