Psalms 99

The King Is Holy

1The Lord reigns! Let the peoples tremble.

He is enthroned above the cherubim.

Let the earth quake.

2Yahweh 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;[#Ex 24:6-8; Lv 8:1-30]

Samuel also was among those calling on His name.

They called to Yahweh and He answered them.

7He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud;[#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,

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.
