Psalms 99

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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