Psalms 99

1 The Lord reigneth; people tremble: he sitteth enthroned over the cherubim; the earth is 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 Zion; and he is exalted above all the people.

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

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

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

4 And to the power of the king who loveth justice and righteousness hast thou truly executed 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 bow yourselves down before his footstool: he is holy.—

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

6 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.

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 In the pillar of cloud he used to speak unto them: they kept his testimonies, and the statutes which he had given unto 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: thou wast a forgiving God unto them, yet also an avenger for their wrong doings.

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

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

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