Psalms 99 Comparison: Bible in Basic English vs New Heart English Bible
Psalms 99
1The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.
2The Lord is great in Zion; he is high over all the nations.
3Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.
4The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.
5Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; holy is he.
6Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them.
7His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which he gave them.
8You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.
9Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.
Psalms 99
1The Lord reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved.
2The Lord is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples.
3Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy!
4The King's strength also loves justice. You do establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5Exalt the Lord our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy!
6Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel among those who call on his name; they called on the Lord, and he answered them.
7He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.
8You answered them, Lord our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.
9Exalt the Lord, our God. Worship at his holy hill, for the Lord, our God, is holy!
