Psalms 99

The King Is Holy

1The Lord reigns! Let the peoples tremble.

He is enthroned between the cherubim.

Let the earth quake.

2The Lord is great in Zion;

he is exalted above all the peoples.

3Let them praise your great

and awe-inspiring name.

He is holy.

4The mighty King loves justice.

You have established fairness;

you have administered justice

and righteousness in Jacob.

5Exalt the Lord our God;

bow in worship at his footstool.

He is holy.

6Moses and Aaron were among his priests;[#99:6 Ex 24:6–8; Lv 8:1–30]

Samuel also was among those calling on his name.

They called to the Lord and he answered them.

7He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud;[#99:7 Nm 12:5; 14:14; Dt 31:15–18]

they kept his decrees and the statutes he gave them.

8Lord our God, you answered them.

You were a forgiving God to them,

but an avenger of their sinful actions.

9Exalt the Lord our God;

bow in worship at his holy mountain,

for the Lord our God is holy.
