Psalm 99
Young's Literal Translation
Chapter overview
Psalm 99 pairs transcendent holiness with responsive relationship. The just king loves equity, while Moses, Aaron, and Samuel model prayer that receives answers, forgiveness, and needed discipline before communal worship.

1Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.
2Jehovah in Zion [is] great, And high He [is] over all the peoples.
3They praise Thy name, 'Great, and fearful, holy [it] is.'
4And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou — Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou — Thou hast done.
5Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His footstool, holy [is] He.
6Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.
7In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.
8O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.
9Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For holy [is] Jehovah our God!
