PXCIX. Jehovah he as king doth reign

1 Jehovah he as king doth reign
O let the people quake:
He sitteth on the cherubims,
The earth then let it shake.
2 Jehovah great in Sion is,
And o'er all people high.
3 Thy great and dreadful name let them
Praise for its sanctity.

4 The king's strength judgment loves, and thou
Doth equity ordain:
Both judgment thou and righteousness
In Jacob dost maintain.
5 Do ye the Lord our God exalt,
In bowing worship ye
Before the footstool of his throne:
The Holy One is he.

6 Moses and Aaron with his priests.
Sam'el with them that call
Upon his name: call'd on the Lord,
And he them answer'd all.
7 Within the pillar of a cloud
When unto them he spake:
They kept his witness and decree
Which he for them did make.

8 Thou answer'd'st them O Lord our God
A God that pard'ning wast:
Although on their inventions
Thou vengeance taken hast.
9 Exalt the Lord our God also
Before his holy hill;
Bow down your selves, because the Lord
Our God is holy still.
