Psalms 99

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

Psalmus ipsi David. Dominus regnavit, irascantur populi: qui sedet super cherubim, moveatur terra.

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

Dominus in Sion magnus: et excelsus super omnes populos.

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

Confiteantur nomini tuo magno: quoniam terribile, et sanctum est:

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.

et honor regis iudicium diligit. Tu parasti directiones: iudicium et iustitiam in Iacob tu fecisti.

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

Exaltate Dominum Deum nostrum, et adorate scabellum pedum eius: quoniam sanctum est.

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.

Moyses et Aaron in sacerdotibus eius: et Samuel inter eos, qui invocant nomen eius: Invocabant Dominum, et ipse exaudiebat eos:

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

in columna nubis loquebatur ad eos. Custodiebant testimonia eius, et præceptum quod dedit illis.

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

Domine Deus noster tu exaudiebas eos: Deus tu propitius fuisti eis, et ulciscens in omnes adinventiones eorum.

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

Exaltate Dominum Deum nostrum, et adorate in monte sancto eius: quoniam sanctus Dominus Deus noster.
