Psalms 99

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

A Psalm of David himself. The Lord has reigned: let the peoples be angry. He sits upon the cherubim: let the earth be moved.

The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high above all peoples.

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

May they confess to your great name, for it is terrible and holy.

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

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.

7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes 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 heeded them, O Lord our God. You were a forgiving God to them, though taking vengeance on all their inventions.

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