Psalms 99

1 Yahweh, hath become king, Let the peoples, tremble, He is enthroned on the cherubim, Let the earth, shake.

A psalm for David himself. The Lord hath reigned, let the people be angry: he that sitteth on the cherubims: let the earth be moved.

2 Yahweh, in Zion, is great, And, high, is he over all the peoples.

The Lord is great in Sion, and high above all people.

3 Let them thank his Name—great and reverend, Holy, is he!

Let them give praise to thy great name: for it is terrible and holy:

4 Yea, with the strength of a king—justice, he loveth, —Thou, hast established equity, Justice and righteousness in Jacob, thou, hast wrought.

And the king’s honour loveth judgment. Thou hast prepared directions: thou hast done judgment and justice in Jacob.

5 Exalt Yahweh our God, And bow down at his footstool, Holy, is he!

Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore his footstool, for it is holy.

6 Moses and Aaron, [were] among his priests, And, Samuel, [was] among them who were calling upon his Name, Who were calling upon Yahweh, and, he, used to answer them:

Moses and Aaron among his priests: and Samuel among them that call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heard them:

7 In the pillar of cloud, used he to speak unto them, They kept his testimonies, and the statute he gave them.

He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the commandment which he gave them.

8 O Yahweh our God! thou, answeredst them, —A pardoning GOD, thou becamest to them, Yet one bringing vengeance on their deeds.

Thou didst hear them, O Lord our God: thou wast a merciful God to them, and taking vengeance on all their inventions.

9 Exalt Yahweh our God, And bow down towards his holy mountain, For, holy, is Yahweh our God.

Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore at his holy mountain: for the Lord our God is holy.
