Psalms 99

1 Adonai reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved.

The LORD reigneth, let the nations tremble! He sitteth between the cherubs, let the earth quake!

2 Adonai is great in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]. He is high above all the peoples.

Great is the LORD upon Zion; He is exalted over all the nations.

3 Let them yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to your great and awesome name. He is Holy!

Let men praise thy great and terrible name! It is holy.

4 The King’s strength also 'ahav ·affectionately loves· mishpat ·justice·. You do establish equity. You execute mishpat ·justice· and righteousness in Jacob [Supplanter].

Let them declare the glory of the King who loveth justice! Thou hast established equity; Thou dost execute justice in Jacob!

5 Exalt Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God]. Hawa ·Bow low, prostrate· to worship at his footstool. He is Holy!

Exalt ye Jehovah, our God, And bow yourselves down at his footstool! He is holy.

6 Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] were among his priests, Samuel among those who call on his name; they called on Adonai, and he answered them.

Moses and Aaron, with his priests, And Samuel, who called upon his name, —They called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.

He spake to them in the cloudy pillar; They kept his commandments, And the ordinances which he gave them.

8 You answered them, Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God]. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

Thou, O LORD, our God! didst answer them; Thou wast to them a forgiving God, Though thou didst punish their transgressions!

9 Exalt Adonai, our God. Hawa ·Bow low, prostrate· to worship at his holy hill, for Adonai, our God, is holy!

Exalt the LORD, our God. And worship at his holy mountain! For the LORD, our God, is holy.
