Psalms 99 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Young's Literal Translation
Psalms 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.
Psalms 99
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, ThouThou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, ThouThou 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!
