Psalms 99

1A psalm of praise.

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

1Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.

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

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

2Jehovah in Zion <FI>is<Fi> great, And high He <FI>is<Fi> over all the peoples.

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.

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

3They praise Thy name, `Great, and fearful, holy <FI>it<Fi> is.'

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

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

4And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou--Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou--Thou hast done.

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

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

5Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His footstool, holy <FI>is<Fi> He.
