Psalms 99

1 The Lord reigneth, let the people tremble: he sitteth betweene the Cherubims, let the earth be moued.

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

2 The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high aboue all the people.

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

3 They shall prayse thy great and fearefull Name (for it is holy)

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

4 And the Kings power, that loueth iudgement: for thou hast prepared equitie: thou hast executed iudgement and iustice in Iaakob.

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

5 Exalt the Lord our God, and fall downe before his footestoole: for he is holy.

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

6 Moses and Aaron were among his Priests, and Samuel among such as call vpon his Name: these called vpon the Lord, and he heard them.

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.

7 Hee spake vnto them in the cloudie pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the Lawe that he gaue them.

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

8 Thou heardest them, O Lord our God: thou wast a fauourable God vnto them, though thou didst take vengeance for their inuentions.

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

9 Exalt the Lord our God, and fall downe before his holy Mountaine: for the Lord our God is holy.

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