Psalms 99

1Jehovah reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth [between the] cherubim: let the earth be moved.

1A psalm of praise.

2 Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.

2Sing joyfully to God, all the earth: serve ye the Lord with gladness. Come in before his presence with exceeding great joy.

3 They shall praise thy great and terrible name, — it is holy! —

3Know ye that the Lord he is God: he made us, and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

4 And the strength of the king that loveth justice. Thou hast established equity: it is thou that executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

4Go ye into his gates with praise, into his courts with hymns: and give glory to him. Praise ye his name:

5 Exalt Jehovah ourGod, and worship at his footstool. He is holy!

5For the Lord is sweet, his mercy endureth for ever, and his truth to generation and generation.

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name: they called unto Jehovah, and he answered them.
