Psalms 99

1A psalm of praise.

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

1The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

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

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

2The Lord is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

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.

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

3Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

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

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

4The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

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

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

5Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

8O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.
