Psalms 99
99
1Jehovah reigneth; let the peoples tremble:
He sitteth above the cherubim; let the earth be moved.
2Jehovah is great in Zion;
And he is high above all the peoples.
3Let them praise thy great and terrible name:
Holy is he.
4The king’s strength also loveth justice;
Thou dost establish equity;
Thou executest justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5Exalt ye Jehovah our God,
And worship at his footstool:
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.
7He spake unto them in the pillar of cloud:
They kept his testimonies,
And the statute that he gave them.
8Thou answeredst them, O Jehovah our God:
Thou wast a God that forgavest them,
Though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.
9Exalt ye Jehovah our God,
And worship at his holy hill;
For Jehovah our God is holy.

The Holy King
I
1The Lord is king, the peoples tremble;
he is enthroned on the cherubim,#Enthroned on the cherubim: cherubim were composite beings with animal and human features, common in ancient Near Eastern art. Two cherubim were placed on the ark (or box) of the covenant in the holy of holies. Upon them God was believed to dwell invisibly, cf. Ex 25:20–22; 1 Sm 4:4; 2 Sm 6:2; Ps 80:2. the earth quakes.#Ps 18:8–11; 80:2; 93:1; Ex 25:22; 1 Sm 4:4; 2 Sm 6:2.
2Great is the Lord in Zion,
exalted above all the peoples.
3Let them praise your great and awesome name:
Holy is he!#Is 6:3.
II
4O mighty king, lover of justice,
you have established fairness;
you have created just rule in Jacob.#Ps 72:1; Jer 23:5.
5Exalt the Lord, our God;
bow down before his footstool;#Footstool: a reference to the ark, cf. 1 Chr 28:2; Ps 132:7.#Ps 132:7.
holy is he!

6Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
Samuel among those who called on his name;
they called on the Lord, and he answered them.#Jer 15:1.
7From the pillar of cloud he spoke to them;
they kept his decrees, the law he had given them.#Ex 33:9; Nm 12:5.
8O Lord, our God, you answered them;
you were a forgiving God to them,
though you punished their offenses.#Ex 32:11; Nm 20:12.
9Exalt the Lord, our God;
bow down before his holy mountain;
holy is the Lord, our God.
