99 Jehovah reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth [between the] cherubim: let the earth be moved.

² Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.

³ They shall praise thy great and terrible name,—it is holy!—

⁴ And the strength of the king that loveth justice. *Thou* hast established equity: it is thou that executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

⁵ Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. He is holy!

⁶ Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name: they called unto Jehovah, and *he* answered them.

⁷ He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.

⁸ Jehovah, our God, *thou* answeredst them: a forgiving God wast thou unto them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

⁹ Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at the hill of his holiness; for holy is Jehovah our God.

⁴¹ And the whole assembly of the children of Israel murmured on the morrow against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of Jehovah.

⁴² And it came to pass, when the assembly was gathered together against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting, and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Jehovah appeared.

⁴³ And Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting.

⁴⁴ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

⁴⁵ Get you up from the midst of this assembly, and I will consume them in a moment. And they fell on their faces.

⁴⁶ And Moses said to Aaron, Take the censer, and put fire thereon from off the altar, and lay on incense, and carry it quickly to the assembly, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from Jehovah: the plague is begun.

⁴⁷ And Aaron took as Moses had said, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and behold, the plague had begun among the people; and he put on incense, and made atonement for the people.

⁴⁸ And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.

⁴⁹ Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides them that had died because of the matter of Korah.

⁵⁰ And Aaron returned to Moses to the entrance of the tent of meeting; and the plague was stayed.

⁷ But the end of all things is drawn nigh: be sober therefore, and be watchful unto prayers;

⁸ but before all things having fervent love among yourselves, because love covers a multitude of sins;

⁹ hospitable one to another, without murmuring;

¹⁰ each according as he has received a gift, ministering it to one another, as good stewards of [the] various grace of God.

¹¹ If any one speak—as oracles of God; if any one minister—as of strength which God supplies; that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the might for the ages of ages. Amen.
