< Psalms 99 >

1 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he setteth between the cherubim; let the earth be moved.
Yahweh reigns; let the nations tremble. He sits enthroned above the cherubim; the earth quakes.
2 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all people.
Yahweh is great in Zion; he is exalted above all the nations.
3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.
Let them praise your great and awesome name; he is holy.
4 The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
The king is strong, and he loves justice. You have established fairness; you have done righteousness and justice in Jacob.
5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.
Praise Yahweh our God and worship at his footstool. He is holy.
6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
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.
7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud. They kept his solemn commands and the statutes that he gave them.
8 Thou didst answer them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance on their evil deeds.
You answered them, Yahweh our God. A forgiving God you were to them, but one who punished their sinful deeds.
9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
Praise Yahweh our God, and worship at his holy hill, for Yahweh our God is holy.
