Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigns. Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim; the earth shakes.

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

2 The LORD is great in Zion. He is high 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 King's strength also loves justice. You do establish equity. You execute 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. 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 among those who call on his name; they called on the LORD, and he answered them.

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 in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that 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 You answered them, LORD our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

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. 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.
