1The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.2The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.3Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.4The king' strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.5Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.6Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.7He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.8Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.9Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
Psalm 99
New International Reader’s Version
1The LORD rules. Let the nations tremble. He sits on his throne between the cherubim. Let the earth shake.2Great is the LORD in Zion. He is honoured over all the nations.3Let them praise his great and wonderful name. He is holy.4The King is mighty and loves justice. He has set up the rules for fairness. He has done what is right and fair for the people of Jacob.5Honour the LORD our God. Worship at his feet. He is holy.6Moses and Aaron were two of his priests. Samuel was one of those who worshipped him. They called out to the LORD. And he answered them.7He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud. They obeyed his laws and the orders he gave them.8LORD our God, you answered them. You showed Israel that you are a God who forgives. But when they did wrong, you punished them.9Honour the LORD our God. Worship at his holy mountain. The LORD our God is holy.
