Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!

The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

2 Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.

The Lord is great in Zion; he is high over all the nations.

3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!

Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.

4 The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.

The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.

5 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; holy is he.

6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered.

Moses 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.

7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which he gave them.

8 O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.

You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.

9 Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.

Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.
