Psalm 98 [MT 99]

1

[A Psalm of David.] The Lord reigns;-- let the people rage; [it is he] that sits upon the cherubs, let the earth be moved.

Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ. - Ο ΚΥΡΙΟΣ ἐβασίλευσεν, ὀργιζέσθωσαν λαοί· ὁ καθήμενος ἐπὶ τῶν Χερουβίμ, σαλευθήτω ἡ γῆ.

2

The Lord is great in Sion, and is high over all the people.

Κύριος ἐν Σιὼν μέγας καὶ ὑψηλός ἐστιν ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς λαούς.

3

Let them give thanks to thy great name; for it is terrible and holy.

ἐξομολογησάσθωσαν τῷ ὀνόματί σου τῷ μεγάλῳ, ὅτι φοβερὸν καὶ ἅγιόν ἐστι.

4

And the king’s honour loves judgment; thou hast prepared equity, thou hast wrought judgment and justice in Jacob.

καὶ τιμὴ βασιλέως κρίσιν ἀγαπᾷ· σὺ ἡτοίμασας εὐθύτητας, κρίσιν καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐν ᾿Ιακὼβ σὺ ἐποίησας.

5

Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship [at] his footstool; for he is holy.

ὑψοῦτε Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν ἡμῶν καὶ προσκυνεῖτε τῷ ὑποποδίῳ τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἅγιός ἐστι.

6

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the Lord, and he heard them.

Μωυσῆς καὶ ᾿Ααρὼν ἐν τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ Σαμουὴλ ἐν τοῖς ἐπικαλουμένοις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ· ἐπεκαλοῦντο τὸν Κύριον, καὶ αὐτὸς εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν,

7

He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud; they kept his testimonies, and the ordinances which he gave them.

ἐν στύλῳ νεφέλης ἐλάλει πρὸς αὐτούς· ὅτι ἐφύλασσον τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ προστάγματα αὐτοῦ, ἃ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς.

8

O Lord our God, thou heardest them; O God, thou becamest propitious to them, though thou didst take vengeance on all their devices.

Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, σὺ ἐπήκουσε αὐτῶν· ὁ Θεός, σὺ εὐίλατος ἐγίνου αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐκδικῶν ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτῶν.

9

Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy.

ὑψοῦτε Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν ἡμῶν καὶ προσκυνεῖτε εἰς ὄρος ἅγιον αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἅγιος Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν.
