Psalm 99

Yahweh rules as king.
    Let the people tremble.
    He is enthroned over the angels.[a]
    Let the earth quake.
Yahweh is mighty in Zion.
    He is high above all people.
Let them give thanks to your great and fearful name.
    He is holy!

The king’s strength is that he loves justice.
    You have established fairness.
    You have done what is fair and right for Jacob.

Highly honor Yahweh our Elohim.
    Bow down at his footstool.

    He is holy!

Moses and Aaron were among his priests.
    Samuel was among those who prayed to him.
    They called to Yahweh, and he answered them.
        He spoke to them from a column of smoke.
    They obeyed his written instructions and the laws that he gave them.
O Yahweh, our Elohim, you answered them.
    You showed them that you are a forgiving El
        and that you are an El who punishes their sinful deeds.

Highly honor Yahweh our Elohim.
    Bow at his holy mountain.

    Yahweh our Elohim is holy!
