Psalms 99

The Holy King

¹The Lord is king, the peoples tremble;

he is enthroned on the cherubim, the earth quakes.

²Great is the Lord in Zion,

exalted above all the peoples.

³Let them praise your great and awesome name:

Holy is he!

⁴O mighty king, lover of justice,

you have established fairness;

you have created just rule in Jacob.

⁵Exalt the Lord , our God;

bow down before his footstool;

holy is he!

⁶Moses and Aaron were among his priests,

Samuel among those who called on his name;

they called on the Lord , and he answered them.

⁷From the pillar of cloud he spoke to them;

they kept his decrees, the law he had given them.

⁸O Lord , our God, you answered them;

you were a forgiving God to them,

though you punished their offenses.

⁹Exalt the Lord , our God;

bow down before his holy mountain;

holy is the Lord , our God.
