Psalms 99

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

The Lord is king; let the nations tremble: he is throned upon cherubs; let earth quake.

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 praise your great and terrible name. Holy is he.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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