Psalms 99

1 The Lord hath regned, puplis ben wrooth; thou that sittist on cherubyn, the erthe be moued.

A Psalm of David himself. The Lord has reigned: let the peoples be angry. He sits upon the cherubim: let the earth be moved.

2 The Lord is greet in Sion; and hiy aboue alle puplis.

The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high above all peoples.

3 Knouleche thei to thi greet name, for it is ferdful and hooli;

May they confess to your great name, for it is terrible and holy.

4 and the onour of the king loueth doom. Thou hast maad redi dressyngis; thou hast maad doom and riytfulnesse in Jacob.

And the honor of the king loves judgment. You have prepared guidance. You have accomplished judgment and justice in Jacob.

5 Enhaunse ye oure Lord God; and worschipe ye the stool of hise feet, for it is hooli.

Exalt the Lord our God, and adore the footstool of his feet, for it is holy.

6 Moises and Aaron weren among hise preestis; and Samuel was among hem that inwardli clepen his name. Thei inwardli clepiden the Lord, and he herde hem;

Moses and Aaron are among his priests, and Samuel is among those who call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heeded them.

7 in a piler of cloude he spak to hem. Thei kepten hise witnessyngis; and the comaundement which he yaf to hem.

He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies and the precept that he gave them.

8 Oure Lord God, thou herdist hem; God, thou were merciful to hem, and thou tokist veniaunce on al her fyndyngis.

You heeded them, O Lord our God. You were a forgiving God to them, though taking vengeance on all their inventions.

9 Enhaunse ye oure Lord God, and worschipe ye in his hooli hil; for oure Lord God is hooli.

Exalt the Lord our God, and adore on his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy.
