Psalms 99

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

1A psalm of praise.

1The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

2Jehovah 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.

2The Lord is great in Zion; he is high over all the nations.

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

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.

3Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.

4The king’s strength also loveth justice; Thou dost establish equity; Thou executest justice 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:

4The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.

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

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

5Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; holy is he.

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