Psalms 99

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord reigns; —let the people rage; [it is he] that sits upon the cherubs, let the earth be moved.

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 Sion, and is high over all the people.

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

3 Let them give thanks to your great name; for it is terrible and holy.

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

4 And the king's honor loves judgment; you have prepared equity, you have wrought judgment and justice in Jacob.

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

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

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; they called upon the Lord, and he heard 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 to them in a pillar of cloud; they kept his testimonies, and the ordinances which 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, you heard them; O God, you became propitious to them, though you did take vengeance on all their devices.

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

9 Exalt you the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; 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.
