Psalm 99

The Lord Our God Is Holy

1The Lord reigns; let the peoples tremble![#Ps. 93:1; 1 Chr. 16:31; #Ps. 96:9]

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

2The Lord is great in Zion;[#Isa. 24:23]

he is exalted over all the peoples.

3Let them praise your great and awesome name![#Ps. 111:9; Deut. 28:58]

Holy is he!

4The King in his might loves justice.[#1; #Ps. 11:7; Isa. 61:8; Job 36:5-7; #99:4 Or The might of the King loves justice]

You have established equity;

you have executed justice

and righteousness in Jacob.

5Exalt the Lord our God;[#Ps. 107:32; 118:28; Ex. 15:2; Isa. 25:1]

worship at his footstool!

Holy is he!

6Moses and Aaron were among his priests,[#Jer. 15:1; #Ex. 24:6-8; 40:22-27; Lev. 8:1-30]

Samuel also was among those who called upon his name.

They called to the Lord , and he answered them.

7In the pillar of the cloud he spoke to them;[#Ex. 33:9; Num. 12:5]

they kept his testimonies

and the statute that he gave them.

8O Lord our God, you answered them;

you were a forgiving God to them,

but an avenger of their wrongdoings.

9Exalt the Lord our God,

and worship at his holy mountain;

for the Lord our God is holy!
