Psalm 99

THE KING IS HOLY

1 The Lord reigns! Let the peoples tremble.

He is enthroned between the cherubim.g

Let the earth quake.h

2 The Lord is great in Zion;

he is exalted above all the peoples.i

3 Let them praise your great

and awe-inspiring name.j

He is holy.k

4 The mighty King loves justice.

You have established fairness;

you have administered justice

and righteousness in Jacob.l

5 Exalt the Lord our God;

bow in worship at his footstool.m

He is holy.n

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests;o

Samuel also was among those calling on his name.

They called to the Lord and he answered them.p

7 He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud;q

they kept his decrees and the statutes he gave them.

8 Lord our God, you answered them.

You were a forgiving God to them,r

but an avenger of their sinful actions.s

9 Exalt the Lord our God;

bow in worship at his holy mountain,

for the Lord our God is holy.t
