1The Lord reigns, the peoples tremble![#99:1 Or let the]
He sits enthroned above the cherubim, the earth quakes!
2The Lord is great in Zion,[#99:2 Or in Zion is great]
And He is exalted above all the peoples.
3May they praise Your great and awesome name;
Holy is He.
4The strength of the King loves justice;[#99:4 Or You have established in equity the strength of the King who loves justice; #99:4 Or judgment]
You have established order;

5Exalt the Lord our God[#99:5 The verb is plural]
And worship at His footstool;
Holy is He.
6¶Moses and Aaron were among His priests,
And Samuel was among those who called on His name;
They called upon the Lord and He answered them.
7He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud;
They kept His testimonies
And the statute that He gave them.
8Lord our God, You answered them;
You were a forgiving God to them,
And yet an avenger of their evil deeds.
9Exalt the Lord our God
And worship at His holy hill,
For the Lord our God is holy.
