Psalms 99

1The Lord reigns; let the peoples tremble!

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

2The Lord is great in Zion;

he is exalted over all the peoples.

3Let them praise thy great and terrible name!

Holy is he!

4Mighty King, lover of justice,[#99.4 Cn: Heb]

thou hast established equity;

thou hast executed justice

and righteousness in Jacob.

5Extol the Lord our God;

worship at his footstool!

Holy is he!

6Moses and Aaron were among his priests,

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;

they kept his testimonies,

and the statutes that he gave them.

8O Lord our God, thou didst answer them;

thou wast a forgiving God to them,

but an avenger of their wrongdoings.

9Extol the Lord our God,

and worship at his holy mountain;

for the Lord our God is holy!
