Psalms 99

1 Yahweh reigns; let the nations tremble. He sits enthroned above the cherubim; the earth quakes.

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

2 Yahweh is great in Zion; he is exalted above all the nations.

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

3 Let them praise your great and awesome name; he is holy.

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

4 The king is strong, and he loves justice. You have established fairness; you have done righteousness and justice in Jacob.

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

5 Praise Yahweh our God and worship at his footstool. He is holy.

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

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, and Samuel was among those who called on his name. They called to Yahweh, 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 from the pillar of cloud. They kept his solemn commands and the statutes 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 our God. A forgiving God you were to them, but one who punished their sinful deeds.

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

9 Praise Yahweh our God, and worship at his holy hill, for Yahweh our God is holy.

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