Psalm 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.

ASV

About American Standard Version

The ASV has long been regarded by many scholars as the most literal English translation since the King James Version—maybe the most literal translation ever. This has made the translation very popular for careful English Bible study, but not for ease of reading. While the KJV was translated entirely from “western manuscripts,” the ASV 1901 was influenced also by the older “eastern manuscripts” that form the basis for most of our modern English translations. Because the ASV 1901 is very difficult to find in print, Logos is pleased to be able to preserve and distribute this significant work. This is an excellent choice for comparative English study.
