Psalms 99

1 THE Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

The Lord reigneth; people tremble: he sitteth enthroned over the cherubim; the earth is moved.

2 The Lord is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

The Lord is great in Zion; and he is exalted above all the people.

3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

They will give thanks to thy name, great, and terrible, [and] holy it is.

4 The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

And to the power of the king who loveth justice and righteousness hast thou truly executed in Jacob.

5 Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

Exalt ye the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his footstool: he is holy.—

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the Lord, and he answered them.

Moses and Aaron were among his priests, and Samuel among those that call on his name; they called on the Lord, and he answered them.

7 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

In the pillar of cloud he used to speak unto them: they kept his testimonies, and the statutes which he had given unto them.

8 Thou answeredst them, O Lord our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

O Lord, our God, thou didst answer them: thou wast a forgiving God unto them, yet also an avenger for their wrong doings.

9 Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.

Exalt the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his holy mount; for holy is the Lord our God.
