Psalms 99

1 The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

The LORD reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned amongst the cherubim. Let the earth be moved.

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

The LORD is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples.

3 Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.

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

4 The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.

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

5 Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; holy is he.

Exalt the LORD our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy!

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them.

Moses and Aaron were amongst his priests, Samuel was amongst those who call on his name. They called on the LORD, and he answered them.

7 His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which he gave them.

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

8 You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.

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

9 Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.

Exalt the LORD, our God. Worship at his holy hill, for the LORD, our God, is holy!
