Psalm 99

Psalm 99 – The Lord’s Just and Holy Rule

1The Lord is king; let the nations tremble:

he is throned upon cherubs; let earth quake.

2The Lord is great in Zion,

he is high over all the nations.

3Let them praise your great and terrible name.

Holy is he.

4You are a king who loves justice,

equity you have established:

justice and right you have wrought for Jacob.

5Exalt the Lord our God,

bow down at his footstool.

Holy is he.

6Among his priests were Moses and Aaron,

Samuel among those who called on his name.

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

7He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud,

they kept his commands and the statute he gave them.

8Lord our God, you gave them answer.

A God of forgiveness were you to them,

who suffered their deeds to go unpunished.

9Exalt the Lord our God;

bow down at his holy mountain.

For holy is the Lord our God.
