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 nations tremble: he is throned upon cherubs; let earth quake.

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 praise your great and terrible name. Holy is he.

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

You are a king who loves justice, equity you have established: justice and right you have wrought for Jacob.

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

Exalt the Lord our God, bow down at his footstool. 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.

Among his priests were Moses and Aaron, Samuel among those who called on his name. They called to the Lord, and he gave them answer.

7 He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud; they kept his testimonies, and the ordinances which he gave them.

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud, they kept his commands and the statute 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.

Lord our God, you gave them answer. A God of forgiveness were you to them, who suffered their deeds to go unpunished.

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

Exalt the Lord our God; bow down at his holy mountain. For holy is the Lord our God.
