Psalm 99

1 Jehovah reigneth; let the peoples tremble: He sitteth above the cherubim; let the earth be moved.

2 Jehovah is great in Zion; And he is high above all the peoples.

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

4 The king’s strength also loveth justice; Thou dost establish equity; Thou executest justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And worship at his footstool: Holy is he.

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, And Samuel among them that call upon his name; They called upon Jehovah, and he answered them.

7 He spake unto them in the pillar of cloud: They kept his testimonies, And the statute that he gave them.

8 Thou answeredst them, O Jehovah our God: Thou wast a God that forgavest them, Though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

9 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And worship at his holy hill; For Jehovah our God is holy.

Psalm 99

1 The Lord reigns!
The nations tremble.
He sits enthroned above the winged angels;
the earth shakes.

2 The Lord is elevated in Zion;
he is exalted over all the nations.

3 Let them praise your great and awesome name!
He is holy!

4 The king is strong;
he loves justice.
You ensure that legal decisions will be made fairly;
you promote justice and equity in Jacob.

5 Praise the Lord our God!
Worship before his footstool!
He is holy!

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests;
Samuel was one of those who prayed to him.
They prayed to the Lord and he answered them.

7 He spoke to them from a pillar of cloud;
they obeyed his regulations and the ordinance he gave them.

8 O Lord our God, you answered them.
They found you to be a forgiving God,
but also one who punished their sinful deeds.

9 Praise the Lord our God!
Worship on his holy hill,
for the Lord our God is holy!
