Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigneth; let the peoples tremble: he sitteth upon the cherubim; let the earth be moved.

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

2 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the peoples.

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

3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name: holy is he.

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

4 The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

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

5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool: holy is he.

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

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call on his name; they called upon the LORD, 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 spake unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and 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 Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of 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 ye the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

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