Psalm 99 – The Lord’s Just and Holy Rule

99 The Lord is king; let the nations tremble:

he is throned upon cherubs; let earth quake.

2 The Lord is great in Zion,

he is high over all the nations.

3 Let them praise your great and terrible name.

Holy is he.

4 You are a king who loves justice,

equity you have established:

justice and right you have wrought for Jacob.

5 Exalt the Lord our God,

bow down at his footstool.

Holy is he.

6 Among his priests were Moses and Aaron,

Samuel among those who called on his name.

They called to the Lord, and he gave them answer.

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud,

they kept his commands and the statute he gave them.

8 Lord our God, you gave them answer.

A God of forgiveness were you to them,

who suffered their deeds to go unpunished.

9 Exalt the Lord our God;

bow down at his holy mountain.

For holy is the Lord our God.
