< Psalms 99 >
1 The LORD reigns; let the people tremble: he sits between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!
2 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.
Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.
3 Let them praise your great and terrible name; for it is holy.
Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!
4 The king's strength also loves judgment; you do establish equity, you execute judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Exalt all of you the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.
Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at 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; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered.
7 He spoke unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.
8 You answered them, O LORD our God: you were a God that forgave them, though you took vengeance of their inventions.
O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.
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 worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
