Psalms 99

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

Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.

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

Jehovah in Zion [is] great, And high He [is] over all the peoples.

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

They praise Thy name, 'Great, and fearful, holy [it] is.'

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 Hath loved judgment, Thou — Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou — Thou hast done.

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

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His footstool, holy [is] He.

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 those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

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

In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.

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

O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

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 bow yourselves at His holy hill, For holy [is] Jehovah our God!
