Psalm 99

Praise to the Lord for His Faithfulness to Israel.

¹The Lord reigns, the peoples tremble![#99:1 Or let the]

He sits enthroned above the cherubim, the earth quakes!

²The Lord is great in Zion,[#99:2 Or in Zion is great]

And He is exalted above all the peoples.

³May they praise Your great and awesome name;

Holy is He.

⁴The strength of the King loves justice;[#99:4 Or You have established in equity the strength of the King who loves justice; #99:4 Or judgment]

You have established order;

You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

⁵Exalt the Lord our God[#99:5 The verb is plural]

And worship at His footstool;

Holy is He.

⁶¶Moses and Aaron were among His priests,

And Samuel was among those who called on His name;

They called upon the Lord and He answered them.

⁷He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud;

They kept His testimonies

And the statute that He gave them.

⁸Lord our God, You answered them;

You were a forgiving God to them,

And yet an avenger of their evil deeds.

⁹Exalt the Lord our God

And worship at His holy hill,

For the Lord our God is holy.
