Psalms 99

Psalm 99

Praise to God for His Holiness

1The Lord is king; let the peoples tremble![#Ex 25.22]

He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!

2The Lord is great in Zion;[#Ps 97.9]

he is exalted over all the peoples.

3Let them praise your great and awesome name.

Holy is he!

4Mighty King, lover of justice,[#Ps 11.7; 17.2; 103.6; #99.4 Cn: Heb And a king’s strength]

you have established equity;

you have executed justice

and righteousness in Jacob.

5Extol the Lord our God;[#Lev 19.2; Ps 132.7]

worship at his footstool.

Holy is he!

6Moses and Aaron were among his priests,[#Ex 14.15; 1 Sam 7.9; Jer 15.1]

Samuel also was among those who called on his name.

They cried to the Lord , and he answered them.

7He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud;[#Ex 33.9]

they kept his decrees

and the statutes that he gave them.

8O Lord our God, you answered them;[#Num 14.20; Deut 9.20; Ps 106.44]

you were a forgiving God to them

but an avenger of their wrongdoings.

9Extol the Lord our God,[#Ps 34.3]

and worship at his holy mountain,

for the Lord our God is holy.
