Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigneth; let the peoples tremble; He is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake.

The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

2 The LORD is great in Zion; and He is high above all the peoples.

The Lord is great in Zion; he is high over all the nations.

3 Let them praise Thy name as great and awful; Holy is He.

Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.

4 The strength also of the king who loveth justice — Thou hast established equity, Thou hast executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.

5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and prostrate yourselves at His footstool; Holy is He.

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; holy is he.

6 Moses and Aaron among His priests, and Samuel among them that call upon His name, did call upon the LORD, and He answered them.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them.

7 He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud; they kept His testimonies, and the statute that He gave them.

His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which he gave them.

8 O LORD our God, Thou didst answer them; a forgiving God wast Thou unto them, though Thou tookest vengeance of their misdeeds.

You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.

9 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at His holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.
