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!

  1. Psalm 99:1 Or “cherubim.”

99 The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

The Lord is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the Lord, and he answered them.

He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

Thou answeredst them, O Lord our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.
