Psalm 99

1Jehovah reigneth; tremble let the people: He dwelleth between the cherubim; moved let be the earth.

2Jehovah in Zion is great; And exalted is he above all nations.

3They shall acknowledge thy great and terrible name: It is holy.

4And the strength of the king loveth judgment; Thou hast established rectitude; Judgement and righteousness in Jacob thou hast done.

5Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And worship at his footstool: He is holy.

6Moses and Aaron among his priests, And Samuel among those who call upon his name; They cried to Jehovah and he answered them.

7In the pillar of the cloud he spake to them: They kept his testimonies And his statutes which he gave them.

8O Jehovah, our God! thou didst answer them: A God propitious thou wast to them, And [yet] taking vengeance upon their works.

9Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And worship at the mountain of his holiness; For holy is Jehovah our God.
