Psalms 99

1 The Lord is king; let the nations tremble: he is throned upon cherubs; let earth quake.

Jehovah reigns. Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim; the earth shakes.

2 The Lord is great in Zion, he is high over all the nations.

Jehovah is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples.

3 Let them praise your great and terrible name. Holy is he.

Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy.

4 You are a king who loves justice, equity you have established: justice and right you have wrought for Jacob.

The King's strength also loves justice. You do establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Exalt the Lord our God, bow down at his footstool. Holy is he.

Exalt Jehovah our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy.

6 Among his priests were Moses and Aaron, Samuel among those who called on his name. They called to the Lord, and he gave them answer.

Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel among those who call on his name; they called on Jehovah, and he answered them.

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud, they kept his commands and the statute he gave them.

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.

8 Lord our God, you gave them answer. A God of forgiveness were you to them, who suffered their deeds to go unpunished.

You answered them, Jehovah our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

9 Exalt the Lord our God; bow down at his holy mountain. For holy is the Lord our God.

Exalt Jehovah, our God. Worship at his holy mountain, for Jehovah, our God, is holy.
