Psalms 99

1 Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.

The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!

2 Jehovah in Zion [is] great, And high He [is] over all the peoples.

Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.

3 They praise Thy name, 'Great, and fearful, holy [it] is.'

Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!

4 And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou — Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou — Thou hast done.

The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His footstool, holy [is] He.

Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!

6 Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered.

7 In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.

He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

8 O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.

9 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For holy [is] Jehovah our God!

Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
