Psalms 99 in plain modern English. New Ground English Translation.

Yahweh reigns as king — let the nations tremble. He sits enthroned above the winged guardians — let the earth shake.

Yahweh is great in Zion; he towers above all the nations.

Let them praise your name — great and awe-inspiring. He is set apart, unlike any other.

The King is mighty — and he loves justice. You have established fairness; you have carried out justice and made things right in Jacob's land.

Lift Yahweh our God high; bow down at his footstool — he is set apart, unlike any other.

Moses and Aaron were among his priests, and Samuel was among those who called on his name. They cried out to Yahweh, and he answered them.

He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud. They kept his instructions, the decree he gave them.

Yahweh our God, you answered them. You were a God who forgave them, even while holding them accountable for what they did.

Lift Yahweh our God high; bow down toward his sacred mountain — because Yahweh our God is set apart, unlike any other.
