< Psalms 99 >
1 The Lord hath regned, puplis ben wrooth; thou that sittist on cherubyn, the erthe be moued.
The LORD reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved.
2 The Lord is greet in Sion; and hiy aboue alle puplis.
The LORD is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples.
3 Knouleche thei to thi greet name, for it is ferdful and hooli;
Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy!
4 and the onour of the king loueth doom. Thou hast maad redi dressyngis; thou hast maad doom and riytfulnesse in Jacob.
The King’s strength also loves justice. You establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Enhaunse ye oure Lord God; and worschipe ye the stool of hise feet, for it is hooli.
Exalt the LORD our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy!
6 Moises and Aaron weren among hise preestis; and Samuel was among hem that inwardli clepen his name. Thei inwardli clepiden the Lord, and he herde hem;
Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel was among those who call on his name. They called on the LORD, and he answered them.
7 in a piler of cloude he spak to hem. Thei kepten hise witnessyngis; and the comaundement which he yaf to hem.
He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.
8 Oure Lord God, thou herdist hem; God, thou were merciful to hem, and thou tokist veniaunce on al her fyndyngis.
You answered them, LORD our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.
9 Enhaunse ye oure Lord God, and worschipe ye in his hooli hil; for oure Lord God is hooli.
Exalt the LORD, our God. Worship at his holy hill, for the LORD, our God, is holy!
