Psalm 99

The Lord, the Fair and Holy King

99The Lord is king.

Let the peoples shake with fear.

He sits between the gold creatures with wings.

Let the earth shake.

²The Lord in Jerusalem is great;

he is supreme over all the peoples.

³Let them praise your name;

it is great, holy and to be feared.

⁴The King is powerful and loves justice.

Lord, you made things fair;

you have done what is fair and right

for the people of Jacob.

⁵Praise the Lord our God,

and worship at the Temple, his footstool.

He is holy.

⁶Moses and Aaron were among his priests,

and Samuel was among his worshipers.

They called to the Lord,

and he answered them.

⁷He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud.

They kept the rules and laws he gave them.

⁸Lord our God, you answered them.

You showed them that you are a forgiving God,

but you punished them for their wrongs.

⁹Praise the Lord our God,

and worship at his holy mountain,

because the Lord our God is holy.
