Psalms 99

1 The Lord reigns; let the nations tremble! He sits on his throne above the cherubim; let the earth shake!

The Lord reigneth; people tremble: he sitteth enthroned over the cherubim; the earth is moved.

2 The Lord rules supreme in Zion, he is sovereign over all the nations.

The Lord is great in Zion; and he is exalted above all the people.

3 Let them praise his greatness, and respect him for who he is—for he is holy,

They will give thanks to thy name, great, and terrible, [and] holy it is.

Exalt ye the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his footstool: he is holy.—

Moses and Aaron were among his priests, and Samuel among those that call on his name; they called on the Lord, and he answered them.

7 He spoke to the people from the pillar of cloud, and they kept the laws and decrees he gave them.

In the pillar of cloud he used to speak unto them: they kept his testimonies, and the statutes which he had given unto them.

8 Lord our God, you answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, but you punished them when they did wrong.

O Lord, our God, thou didst answer them: thou wast a forgiving God unto them, yet also an avenger for their wrong doings.

9 Honor the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy!

Exalt the Lord our God, and bow yourselves down before his holy mount; for holy is the Lord our God.
